OET interlinear ZEC 9:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

גַּם־אַ֣תְּ

also/yet you

Here Zechariah is using the phrase As for you also to introduce the people of Jerusalem as the ones Yahweh now addresses directly. Your language may have its own way of introducing new participants that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [As for you also, O Jerusalem]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠דַם־בְּרִיתֵ֗⁠ךְ

by,the_blood_of your_covenant_of,your

Here, the blood of your covenant represents “the sacrificial blood by which Yahweh confirmed his covenant with the people.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [by the sacrificial blood that sealed my covenant with you]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

שִׁלַּ֤חְתִּי אֲסִירַ֨יִ⁠ךְ֙

set_~_free prisoners_of,your

The pronoun I refers to Yahweh. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has set free your prisoners]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲסִירַ֨יִ⁠ךְ֙ מִ⁠בּ֔וֹר אֵ֥ין מַ֖יִם בּֽ⁠וֹ

prisoners_of,your from,a_pit not waters in/on/over=him/it

Here Yahweh is speaking of the exile and suffering of the people as if they were prisoners held in a pit in which there is no water. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your captives who are dying in desperate misery]
