(Occurrence 0) Now what do I have here … seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now מי have,I here declares YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_was_taken people,my without_cause rulers,its howl declares YHWH and,continually all/each/any/every the=day name,my blasphemed )
Yahweh uses a question to make the people pay attention to what he is about to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Now look at what is happening … my people are again taken away for nothing.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
(Occurrence 0) this is Yahweh’s declaration
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now מי have,I here declares YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_was_taken people,my without_cause rulers,its howl declares YHWH and,continually all/each/any/every the=day name,my blasphemed )
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. Translate as in Isaiah 30:1. Alternate translation: “this is what Yahweh has declared” or “this is what I, Yahweh, have declared”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) seeing that my people are taken away for nothing
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now מי have,I here declares YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_was_taken people,my without_cause rulers,its howl declares YHWH and,continually all/each/any/every the=day name,my blasphemed )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “I see the enemy taking my people away for nothing”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) for nothing
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now מי have,I here declares YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_was_taken people,my without_cause rulers,its howl declares YHWH and,continually all/each/any/every the=day name,my blasphemed )
This could mean: (1) “for nothing” means the Babylonians took the people unjustly and without cause or (2) this continues the metaphor from Isaiah 52:3 where Yahweh is spoken of as if he owned the people of Israel and could give them away for nothing.
(Occurrence 0) Those who rule over them mock
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now מי have,I here declares YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_was_taken people,my without_cause rulers,its howl declares YHWH and,continually all/each/any/every the=day name,my blasphemed )
This refers to the Babylonians who have conquered the people. However, some versions have, “Those who rule over them wail.” For these versions, this passage refers to the leaders of the Israelites in captivity.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) my name is blasphemed continually all day long
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now מי have,I here declares YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_was_taken people,my without_cause rulers,its howl declares YHWH and,continually all/each/any/every the=day name,my blasphemed )
Here “name” represents Yahweh’s reputation. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “those who watch the enemy take away my people are continually saying evil things about me” (See also: figs-activepassive)
