Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

and,it_will_be Bāⱱel glory_of kingdoms glory_of pride_of \add_>ones\add*_from_Kasdiy like,the_overthrow_of ʼElohīm DOM Şədom and=DOM ˊAmorāh/(Gomorrah)

The point of this comparison is that just as the destruction of God of Sodom and Gomorrah was complete and permanent, so will be the destruction of Babylon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, the splendor of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be utterly destroyed, just as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

glory_of kingdoms glory_of pride_of \add_>ones\add*_from_Kasdiy

The terms glory and splendor mean similar things. Isaiah is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the most magnificent kingdom, about which the Chaldeans boasted]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

צְבִ֣י מַמְלָכ֔וֹת תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת גְּא֣וֹן כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים

glory_of kingdoms glory_of pride_of \add_>ones\add*_from_Kasdiy

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of glory, splendor, and pride, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [most glorious of the kingdoms, the most magnificent of what the Chaldeans held dear]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כְּ⁠מַהְפֵּכַ֣ת אֱלֹהִ֔ים

like,the_overthrow_of ʼElohīm
