UTN uW Translation Notes:

General Information:

These are Yahweh’s words to Ezekiel about Israel.

(Occurrence 0) Make a chain

(Some words not found in UHB: make/work/create/deal the,chain that/for/because/then/when the=earth/land she/it_is_full crimes bloody and,the,city she/it_is_full violence/cruelty )

Chains are used to hold slaves or prisoners. God says this to show the people that they will become slaves or prisoners.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) the land is filled with the judgment of blood

(Some words not found in UHB: make/work/create/deal the,chain that/for/because/then/when the=earth/land she/it_is_full crimes bloody and,the,city she/it_is_full violence/cruelty )

This could mean: (1) “everywhere in the country God is judging people because they violently killed others” or (2) “the courts everywhere in the country are murdering people.” The word “blood” here represents murder and death.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the city is full of violence

(Some words not found in UHB: make/work/create/deal the,chain that/for/because/then/when the=earth/land she/it_is_full crimes bloody and,the,city she/it_is_full violence/cruelty )

The city is spoken of as if it were a container, and violence is spoken of as an object that can be put in a container. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word violence, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “violence is everywhere in the city” or “many people in the city are doing violent things to others” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
