OET (OET-LV)Why are_we_regarded as_the_cattle are_we_considered_stupid in/on/at/with_sight_your_all’s.

OET (OET-RV)Why are we regarded as cattle,
 ⇔ as if we’re considered by you all as being stupid?

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַ֭דּוּעַ נֶחְשַׁ֣בְנוּ כַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֑ה נִ֝טְמִ֗ינוּ בְּ⁠עֵינֵי⁠כֶֽם

why regarded as_the,cattle stupid in/on/at/with,sight,your_all's

Bildad is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “We should not be regarded as beasts, stupid in your eyes!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מַ֭דּוּעַ נֶחְשַׁ֣בְנוּ כַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֑ה

why regarded as_the,cattle

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: “Why do you regard us as beasts”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֑ה

as_the,cattle

Bildad is using this comparison to say that just as beasts have no understanding, so Job regards his friends as having no understanding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “as beasts that have no understanding”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠עֵינֵי⁠כֶֽם

in/on/at/with,sight,your_all's

Bildad is using the term eyes by association to mean sight. Sight, in turn, represents attention, perspective, and judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from your perspective”

Note 5 topic: translate-plural

בְּ⁠עֵינֵי⁠כֶֽם

in/on/at/with,sight,your_all's

The word your is plural here, like the word “you” in the previous verse. Since Bildad is addressing Job, it may be more natural to use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

18:2-3 How long before you stop talking? Bildad addressed Job in the plural, perhaps meaning “people like you.”
