OET interlinear YAC (JAM) 5:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

κατεδικάσατε, ἐφονεύσατε τὸν δίκαιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κατεδικάσατε ἐφονεύσατε τόν δίκαιον οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν)

James probably does not mean that these rich people have done these things personally. He is likely referring to the kind of actions he described in [2:6](../02/06.md), where he told how rich people “overpower” the poor by taking them to court. He may mean that the rich people have gotten the courts to condemn innocent people and in some cases even to execute them. He could also mean that the rich people have gotten the courts to decide lawsuits in their favor and that as a result, some poor people have died because of the great poverty this caused them. James would be speaking of the rich people as the ones who did these actions, using them to represent all the people who were involved. Alternate translation: [You have gotten the courts to condemn and even execute innocent people] or [You have gotten the courts to decide lawsuits in your favor and, as a result, innocent people have died from poverty]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὸν δίκαιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κατεδικάσατε ἐφονεύσατε τόν δίκαιον οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν)

James is using the adjective righteous as a noun to refer to a type of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [the righteous person] or [the innocent person]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὸν δίκαιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Κατεδικάσατε ἐφονεύσατε τόν δίκαιον οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν)

The expression the righteous refers to righteous people in general, not to one specific person. Alternate translation: [righteous people] or [innocent people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν

˱yet˲_not ˱he˲_˓is˒_opposing ˱against˲_you_all

This could mean: (1) the innocent people are not able to resist what the rich people are doing. Alternate translation: [He is not able to resist you] (2) the innocent people wanted a peaceful resolution and were not fighting back. Alternate translation: [You have done this even though the innocent person wanted a peaceful resolution]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν

˱yet˲_not ˱he˲_˓is˒_opposing ˱against˲_you_all

In light of everything that James says in [5:1–6](../05/01.md), the implications are that even though these innocent people are not able to defend themselves, God will defend them by judging and punishing these rich people. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does.
