OET (OET-LV) And_also if/because (the)_wine is_acting_treacherously a_man proud and_not he_stays_at_home who he_has_made_large like_Shəʼōl throat_of_his and_he is_like_death and_not he_is_satisfied and_he_has_gathered to_him/it all_of the_nations and_he_has_assembled to_him/it all_of the_peoples.
OET (OET-RV) Wine betrays the arrogant man so that he won’t rest.
⇔ His appetite becomes like the cemetery—always wanting more,
⇔ and like death which is never satisfied.
⇔ The invader takes over all the nations,
⇔ ≈ and captures every people group.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
אֲשֶׁר֩ הִרְחִ֨יב כִּשְׁא֜וֹל נַפְשׁ֗וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,also that/for/because/then/when (the),wine betrays man arrogant and=not at_rest which/who enlarges like,Sheol throat_of,his and=he [is]_like,death and=not satisfied and,he_has_gathered to=him/it all/each/any/every the=nations and,he_has_assembled to=him/it all/each/any/every the,peoples )
The point of this comparison is that just as Sheol is never full and always takes in more of the dead, so the arrogant warrior is never content and always desires more conquests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [who makes his desire as vast as the grave]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
הַיַּ֣יִן בּוֹגֵ֔ד גֶּ֥בֶר יָהִ֖יר
(Some words not found in UHB: and,also that/for/because/then/when (the),wine betrays man arrogant and=not at_rest which/who enlarges like,Sheol throat_of,his and=he [is]_like,death and=not satisfied and,he_has_gathered to=him/it all/each/any/every the=nations and,he_has_assembled to=him/it all/each/any/every the,peoples )
Yahweh is speaking of wine as if it were a person capable of betraying or deceiving someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [wine causes the arrogant warrior to go astray]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
אֲשֶׁר֩ הִרְחִ֨יב כִּשְׁא֜וֹל נַפְשׁ֗וֹ וְה֤וּא כַמָּ֨וֶת֙ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׂבָּ֔ע
(Some words not found in UHB: and,also that/for/because/then/when (the),wine betrays man arrogant and=not at_rest which/who enlarges like,Sheol throat_of,his and=he [is]_like,death and=not satisfied and,he_has_gathered to=him/it all/each/any/every the=nations and,he_has_assembled to=him/it all/each/any/every the,peoples )
See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [whose appetite is never filled, like Sheol and death]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נַפְשׁ֗וֹ
throat_of,his
Here, appetite represents desire or craving. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [his desire] or [his sense of need]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וְה֤וּא כַמָּ֨וֶת֙ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׂבָּ֔ע
and=he (Some words not found in UHB: and,also that/for/because/then/when (the),wine betrays man arrogant and=not at_rest which/who enlarges like,Sheol throat_of,his and=he [is]_like,death and=not satisfied and,he_has_gathered to=him/it all/each/any/every the=nations and,he_has_assembled to=him/it all/each/any/every the,peoples )
The point of this comparison is that just as death is relentless and never stops taking people, so this person is relentless and never satisfied in his greed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [he is as relentless as death and is never satisfied]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַיֶּאֱסֹ֤ף אֵלָיו֙ כָּל־הַגּוֹיִ֔ם וַיִּקְבֹּ֥ץ אֵלָ֖יו כָּל־הָעַמִּֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,also that/for/because/then/when (the),wine betrays man arrogant and=not at_rest which/who enlarges like,Sheol throat_of,his and=he [is]_like,death and=not satisfied and,he_has_gathered to=him/it all/each/any/every the=nations and,he_has_assembled to=him/it all/each/any/every the,peoples )
See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [And he gathers to himself every nation and every people] or [And he gathers to himself all of the nations; yes, he collects for himself all of the peoples]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
