OET interlinear ZEP 2:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רָזָ֔ה אֵ֖ת כָּל־אֱלֹהֵ֣י הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

shrivel DOM all/each/any/every gods_of the=earth/land

Zephaniah is speaking as if Yahweh is literally going to starve the false gods that other nations worship, that is, deny them food so that they become thin. This is likely a reference to the fat of animals that people sacrificed to gods. The implication is that people will no longer sacrifice to those gods because they will no longer worship them once Yahweh has shown that he is the only true and powerful God. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will show by his powerful actions that he is the only true God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠יִשְׁתַּֽחֲווּ־ל⁠וֹ֙ & כֹּ֖ל אִיֵּ֥י הַ⁠גּוֹיִֽם

and,bow_down to=him/it & all coastlands the=nations

Zephaniah is using this possessive form not to describe islands that belong to nations but to describe island-nations among the nations. The term islands can describe not just land that is completely surrounded by water but also land along a seacoast. In Zephaniah’s culture, people used the term to refer to distant lands. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And even the most distant nations will bow down to him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠יִשְׁתַּֽחֲווּ־ל⁠וֹ֙ & כֹּ֖ל אִיֵּ֥י הַ⁠גּוֹיִֽם

and,bow_down to=him/it & all coastlands the=nations

Zephaniah is speaking of the nations of the world as if they were living things that could bow down to Yahweh. He means that the people of the nations will do this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And the people of even the most distant nations will bow down to him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִ֣ישׁ מִ⁠מְּקוֹמ֔⁠וֹ

(a)_man in,place_of,its

The phrase a man refers to an individual. In this context it could mean an individual nation or an individual person. If you retain Zephaniah’s depiction of the nations as living things, in your translation you could say “each in its own territory.” If you choose to show that he is using the nations to represent their people, you could say “all of them in their own territories.”
