OET (OET-RV) Because seeds of peace will be sown. The grapevine will produce its fruit and the soil will give its produce. The skies will give their dew, because I’ll give all those things to those people as an inheritance.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
זֶ֣רַע הַשָּׁל֗וֹם
seed/offspring of_(the),peace
Yahweh is speaking of future prosperity as if it were a seed planted in peace that would produce an abundant harvest. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [there will be peace and prosperity]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
כִּֽי
that/for/because/then/when
Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. You may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Alternate translation: [Instead]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
הַשָּׁל֗וֹם
of_(the),peace
See how you translated the similar expression in [8:10](../08/10.md).

הַגֶּ֜פֶן תִּתֵּ֤ן פִּרְיָהּ֙ וְהָאָ֨רֶץ֙ תִּתֵּ֣ן אֶת יְבוּלָ֔הּ וְהַשָּׁמַ֖יִם יִתְּנ֣וּ טַלָּ֑ם
the,vine yield fruit_of,its and=the=earth give DOM produce_of,its and,the,heavens give dew_of,their
Yahweh speaks of the vine, the land, and the heavens as if they were persons who could give things to people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [fruit will come from the vine, produce will come from the land, and dew will fall from the heavens]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
