1.4 KiB
I will set my face against that man
Yahweh speaks of being opposed to a person as if he were to set his face against that person. AT: "I will be against that man" or "I will oppose that man" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)
set my face
Here "face" is a metonym for attention or gaze, and "set my face" refers to staring. AT: "stare" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
make him a sign and a proverb
Here the word "sign" refers to something that communicates a special warning to those who see it. The word proverb refers to what people will say about that sign when they see it. AT: "I will make that man to be a warning and a proverb" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
I will cut him off from the midst of my people
Yahweh speaks of causing a person no longer to belong to his people as if he were cutting that person off from the people, like a person would cut a branch from a tree. AT: "I will cause him no longer to belong to my people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
know that I am Yahweh
When Yahweh says that people will know that he is Yahweh, he is implying that they will know that he is the one true God who has supreme authority and power. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 6:7. AT: "understand that I am Yahweh, the one true God" or "realize that I, Yahweh, have supreme power and authority" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
