UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

General Information:

Isaiah begins to speak Yahweh’s words to the people of Judah in the form of a poem.

(Occurrence 0) Therefore

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence declares the,Lord YHWH armies/angels mighty_one Yisrael ah relieved from,enemies,my and,avenge on,foes,my )

Alternate translation: “For that reason”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

(Occurrence 0) this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence declares the,Lord YHWH armies/angels mighty_one Yisrael ah relieved from,enemies,my and,avenge on,foes,my )

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. Alternate translation: “this is what the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, has declared” or “this is what I, Yahweh, the Mighty One of Israel, have declared”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) I will take vengeance against my adversaries, and avenge myself against my enemies

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence declares the,Lord YHWH armies/angels mighty_one Yisrael ah relieved from,enemies,my and,avenge on,foes,my )

Both of these phrases mean basically the same thing. The words “take vengeance against my adversaries” speak more of Yahweh doing whatever he needs to do to those who work against him so he can be happy. The words “avenge myself against my enemies” speak more of Yahweh justly punishing his enemies. Alternate translation: “I will punish those who opposed me” or “I will do what pleases me to those who work against me, and I will justly punish my enemies”
