UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

מֹטֵ֖⁠הוּ

yoke_of,his

In this verse, the word his continues to refer to the “plotter of evil” in verse 10, who represents the many plotters of evil in Nineveh, and so, as in verse 12, his here refers to all of them as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a plural pronoun. Alternate translation: [their yoke]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֹטֵ֖⁠הוּ

yoke_of,his

The author is speaking of oppression as if it were a yoke that weighs down a work animal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [their control over you]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

מֵֽ⁠עָלָ֑יִ⁠ךְ וּ⁠מוֹסְרֹתַ֖יִ⁠ךְ

from,upon,you and,shackles_of,your

The pronouns you and your refer to the people of Judah. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the nation’s name here. Alternate translation: [from upon you, Judah, and your shackles] or [off of you, people of Judah, and your shackles]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מוֹסְרֹתַ֖יִ⁠ךְ אֲנַתֵּֽק

and,shackles_of,your snap

The author is speaking of oppression as if it were shackles that bind a prisoner. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I will relieve your oppression]
