OET interlinear ZEC 6:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ֠⁠הוּא יִבְנֶ֞ה

and=he build

Yahweh is stating the pronoun he separately, even though the verb translated as he will build already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that it is the Branch who will build the temple of Yahweh. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [And he himself will build the temple of Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אֶת הֵיכַ֤ל יְהוָה֙

DOM temple_of YHWH

Yahweh is speaking of himself in the third person as Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [my temple]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠הֽוּא־יִשָּׂ֣א ה֔וֹד

and=he (Some words not found in UHB: and=he build DOM temple_of YHWH and=he bear majesty and,he_will_sit and,he_will_rule on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his and=it_was priest on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his and,a_counsel_of peace you(ms)_will_be between the_two_of,of_them )

Yahweh is stating the pronoun he separately, even though the verb translated as he will bear glory already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that it is this man, the Branch, who will bear glory. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [he himself will bear glory]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יִשָּׂ֣א ה֔וֹד

bear majesty

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [will be known as great and powerful]

(Occurrence 0) He will be a priest on his throne

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he build DOM temple_of YHWH and=he bear majesty and,he_will_sit and,he_will_rule on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his and=it_was priest on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his and,a_counsel_of peace you(ms)_will_be between the_two_of,of_them )

This could mean: (1) the “Branch” will be both priest and king or (2) the “Branch” will be king, and another person will be a priest who will share the royal power. Alternate translation: [There will be a priest upon his throne]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠יָשַׁ֥ב וּ⁠מָשַׁ֖ל עַל כִּסְא֑⁠וֹ

and,he_will_sit and,he_will_rule on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his

Here, his throne represents “his royal authority.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and will sit and rule with his royal authority]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠עֲצַ֣ת שָׁל֔וֹם

and,a_counsel_of peace

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of counsel and peace, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [and they will advise each other peacefully]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וַ⁠עֲצַ֣ת שָׁל֔וֹם

and,a_counsel_of peace

Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe a counsel that is characterized by peace. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and a peaceful counsel]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בֵּ֥ין שְׁנֵי⁠הֶֽם

between the_two_of,of_them

The implication is that the two of them refers to the offices of king and priest. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [between the two offices of king and priest.’]
