OET interlinear ZEC 9:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠חָנִ֨יתִי לְ⁠בֵיתִ֤⁠י

and,I_will_encamp for,house_of,my

Here Yahweh is speaking as if he were an army that would camp around his house to protect it. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And I will stand guard around my house]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠חָנִ֨יתִי לְ⁠בֵיתִ֤⁠י מִצָּבָה֙ מֵ⁠עֹבֵ֣ר וּ⁠מִ⁠שָּׁ֔ב וְ⁠לֹֽא־יַעֲבֹ֧ר עֲלֵי⁠הֶ֛ם ע֖וֹד נֹגֵ֑שׂ כִּ֥י עַתָּ֖ה רָאִ֥יתִי בְ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

and,I_will_encamp for,house_of,my guard from,[one_who]_passes_through and,from,[one_who]_returns and=not overrun over,them again/more oppressor that/for/because/then/when now seen with,my_own_of,eyes

In this verse, the clause that begins with for gives the reason for the statement that comes before it. Use a natural way in your language to introduce a reason.

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יַעֲבֹ֧ר עֲלֵי⁠הֶ֛ם & נֹגֵ֑שׂ

and=not overrun over,them & oppressor

The pronoun them refers to the people connected with Yahweh’s house. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [no oppressor will pass over my people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עַתָּ֖ה רָאִ֥יתִי בְ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

now seen with,my_own_of,eyes

Here, I have seen with my eyes represents “I have begun to pay close attention to and care for my people.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [now I have begun to care for my people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

מֵ⁠עֹבֵ֣ר וּ⁠מִ⁠שָּׁ֔ב

from,[one_who]_passes_through and,from,[one_who]_returns

Yahweh is using the expressions the one passing through and the one returning as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use such expressions in the same way. If not, you can translate them with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [against the ones who pass through and the ones who return]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠בֵיתִ֤⁠י

for,house_of,my

Here, my house represents “my temple” and the people connected with it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [my temple and those who belong to it]
