rescue taken_away to_the,death and,staggering to_the,slaughter if hold_back

The two clauses in this verse say the same thing, but the phrases in the second clause are in reverse order. This is a literary device called a chiasm. Here, the writer does this in order to emphasize the importance of rescuing these people. See the discussion of chiasms in the book introduction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְקֻחִ֣ים לַ⁠מָּ֑וֶת וּ⁠מָטִ֥ים לַ֝⁠הֶ֗רֶג

taken_away to_the,death and,staggering to_the,slaughter

The writer implies that these people are wrongfully taken to the death and stagger to the slaughter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “those who are wrongfully take to the death, and those who wrongfully stagger to the slaughter”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לְקֻחִ֣ים

taken_away

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “those whom people take”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠מָּ֑וֶת & לַ֝⁠הֶ֗רֶג

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וּ⁠מָטִ֥ים לַ֝⁠הֶ֗רֶג אִם־תַּחְשֽׂוֹךְ

and,staggering to_the,slaughter if hold_back

If it would be helpful in your language, you could change the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “and if only you would hold back those who stagger to the slaughter”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

אִם־תַּחְשֽׂוֹךְ

if hold_back

The writer is using a conditional statement to give a plea or command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words using a plea or command form. Alternate translation: “I beg you to hold back” or “you must hold back”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אִם־תַּחְשֽׂוֹךְ

if hold_back

Here, the writer refers to preventing the slaughter of these people as if one were holding them back from going to the place where they would be killed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if only you would stop it” or “you must stop it”
