# neither will anyone hear his voice in
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
Here "voice" refers to the whole person. AT: "And he will not speak loudly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00

# He will not break any bruised reed; he will not quench any smoking flax
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
Both of these statements mean the same thing. They are metaphors emphasizing that God's servant will be gentle and kind. Both "bruised reed" and "smoking flax" represent weak and hurting people. If the metaphor is confusing, you could translate the literal meaning. AT: "He will be kind to weak people, and he will be gentle to those who are hurting" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# he will not quench
"he will not put out"
# smoking flax
This refers to a lamp wick after the flame has gone out and when it is only smoking.
# flax, until
This can be translated with a new sentence: "flax. This is what he will do until"
# he leads justice to victory
2017-08-19 22:30:55 +00:00
"he succeeds in bringing my justice and salvation to the people." If the sentence is rearranged, the ideas in the abstract nouns "justice" and "victory" can be expressed with "just" and "save." AT: "the people know that I am just and that I will save them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
