Bildad is using two groups of people to mean all people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. This could mean: (1) people who live after God punishes the wicked person and people who were alive beforehand and recognized that God would punish the wicked person. Alternate translation: “The way God punishes him will make a great impression on everyone who ever hears of him” (2) people who live to the west of the wicked person and people who live to the east of the wicked person. Alternate translation: “The way God punishes him will make a great impression on the people who live all around him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
אַחֲרֹנִ֑ים וְ֝קַדְמֹנִ֗ים
in_the_west and,east
If Bildad is speaking of people who live after and before God punishes the wicked person, then he is using those adjectives as nouns to mean certain groups of people. The ULT adds the word ones in each case to suggest this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “Those who live after him … and those who see what is going to happen to him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
י֭וֹמוֹ
fate,his
Bildad is using the term day to mean what happens to the wicked person at a particular time, the time when God punishes him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what happens to him when God punishes him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אָ֣חֲזוּ שָֽׂעַר
seized horror
Bildad is speaking as if horror were literally an object that people could seize. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will become horrified”
18:20 in the west . . . in the east: These phrases might refer to people from times past and times to come or to people from various places.
OET (OET-RV) Those in the west are appalled at their fate,
⇔ ≈and those in the east are getting the shudders.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
