If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

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

תָּשִׂ֤ים אָשָׁם֙ נַפְשׁ֔⁠וֹ

make guilt_offering self_of,his

Here Isaiah shifts to addressing Yahweh directly in the second person with the word you, even though he refers to Yahweh in the third person as Yahweh elsewhere in this verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could continue to refer to Yahweh in the third person here. Alternate translation: [he makes his soul a guilt offering]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תָּשִׂ֤ים אָשָׁם֙ נַפְשׁ֔⁠וֹ

make guilt_offering self_of,his
