1.7 KiB
I will reach out with my hand against him
God's "hand" refers to what he does. AT: "I will work against him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
They will carry their own iniquity
Here the word "iniquity" represents the guilt that people incur for committing iniquity. Yahweh speaks of people suffering the consequences of their iniquity as if they were carrying the iniquity. AT: "They will suffer the consequences of their own iniquity" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
house of Israel
The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 3:1. AT: "the Israelite people group" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
will no longer wander away from following me
Yahweh speaks of the people no longer worshiping him as if they were to wander away from him and no longer follow him. AT: "will no longer stop worshiping me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:11. AT: "this is what the Lord Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, have declared" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
