Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יוֹם־יְהוָה֙ הַגָּד֔וֹל & י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה
day YHWH the,great & day YHWH
See how you translated the expression “the day of Yahweh” in verse 7. Alternate translation: “the awful time when Yahweh will punish people for their sins … the time when Yahweh will punish people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
יוֹם־יְהוָה֙ הַגָּד֔וֹל & י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה
day YHWH the,great & day YHWH
Yahweh is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “the awful time when I will punish people for their sins … the time when I will punish people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
קָר֤וֹב & קָר֖וֹב וּמַהֵ֣ר מְאֹ֑ד
near & near and,rapidly very
Yahweh is repeating the word near in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “very near and hastening quickly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
קָר֤וֹב & קָר֖וֹב וּמַהֵ֣ר מְאֹ֑ד
near & near and,rapidly very
Yahweh is speaking as if the day or time when he will punish people were a living thing that was hastening to arrive. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “near; yes, it will happen very soon”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ק֚וֹל י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה מַ֥ר
sound/voice day YHWH bitter
Yahweh is speaking of the sound of the day by association to mean the sounds that people will make on that day, that is, at that time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “People will weep bitterly on the day of Yahweh”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
צֹרֵ֖חַ & גִּבּֽוֹר
cries_out & mighty
Yahweh is not referring to a specific warrior. He means a certain group of warriors in general. This could mean: (1) that the warriors who are trying to defend Judah will cry out in despair as they are defeated. Alternate translation: “the defenders of Judah will cry out in despair” (2) that the warriors of the enemy army that attacks Judah will shout a battle cry, as verse 16 describes. Alternate translation: “the invading warriors will shout a terrifying battle cry”
