OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_her/it if indeed_(bind) tie_up_me in/on/at/with_ropes new which not it_has_been_done in/among_them work and_become_weak and_I_will_be like_one the_humankind.
OET (OET-RV) “Actually, if they would tie me with new ropes which have never been used,” he replied, “I’d become weak and be just like any other man.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
If binding, they bind me
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=her/it if to_tie tie_~_up,me in/on/at/with,ropes new which/who not used in/among=them work and,become_weak and=I_will_be like=one the=humankind )
Samson is repeating the verb bind in order to intensify the idea that he is expressing. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “If in fact they bind me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
work has not been done
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=her/it if to_tie tie_~_up,me in/on/at/with,ropes new which/who not used in/among=them work and,become_weak and=I_will_be like=one the=humankind )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “no one has done work”
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_her/it if indeed_(bind) tie_up_me in/on/at/with_ropes new which not it_has_been_done in/among_them work and_become_weak and_I_will_be like_one the_humankind.
OET (OET-RV) “Actually, if they would tie me with new ropes which have never been used,” he replied, “I’d become weak and be just like any other man.”
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.
