Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
עַד־אָ֭נָה תּוֹגְי֣וּן נַפְשִׁ֑י וּֽתְדַכְּאוּנַ֥נִי בְמִלִּֽים
until when? torment, self_of,me and,crush,me in/on/at/with,words
Job 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: “You have afflicted my soul and crushed me with words for long enough!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
תּוֹגְי֣וּן & וּֽתְדַכְּאוּנַ֥נִי
torment, & and,crush,me
The word you is plural here and through verse 5 because Job is addressing his three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
נַפְשִׁ֑י
self_of,me
Job is using one part of himself, his soul, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּֽתְדַכְּאוּנַ֥נִי בְמִלִּֽים
and,crush,me in/on/at/with,words
Job is speaking as if his friends could literally crush him with their words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and discourage me deeply with your words”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְמִלִּֽים
in/on/at/with,words
Job is using the term words to mean what his friends have been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by what you have been saying”
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.
