OET interlinear ZEC 9:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

דָמָ֜י⁠ו מִ⁠פִּ֗י⁠ו

blood(s)_of,its from,mouth_of,its

Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe the blood that is in the Philistines’ mouth. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the blood that is in his mouth]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠הָיָה֙ כְּ⁠אַלֻּ֣ף בִּֽ⁠יהוּדָ֔ה וְ⁠עֶקְר֖וֹן כִּ⁠יבוּסִֽי

and=it_was like,a_chief in,Judah and,Ekron [will,be]_like_a_Jebusite

The point of these comparisons is that just as a clan in Judah belongs fully to Yahweh’s people, so the surviving Philistines will belong to Yahweh’s people, and just as a Jebusite was absorbed into Israel, so Ekron will be absorbed among them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and the surviving Philistines will belong to Yahweh’s people just as a clan in Judah does, and the people of Ekron will be absorbed among them just as the Jebusites were]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠הֲסִרֹתִ֨י דָמָ֜י⁠ו מִ⁠פִּ֗י⁠ו וְ⁠שִׁקֻּצָי⁠ו֙ מִ⁠בֵּ֣ין שִׁנָּ֔י⁠ו

and,I_will_remove blood(s)_of,its from,mouth_of,its and,its_detestable_of,things from,between teeth_of,its

Here, his blood and his abominations represent “the meat with blood in it and the food sacrificed to idols that the Philistines ate.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And I will remove the meat with blood in it from his mouth and the food sacrificed to idols from between his teeth]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠הֲסִרֹתִ֨י דָמָ֜י⁠ו מִ⁠פִּ֗י⁠ו

and,I_will_remove blood(s)_of,its from,mouth_of,its

The pronoun his refers to the Philistine people, who are spoken of here as a single group. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And I will remove the Philistine people’s blood from his mouth]
