OET (OET-LV) Children_of_his they_will_seek_the_favour_of poor_[people] and_hands_of_his they_will_return wealth_of_his.
OET (OET-RV) Their children will be seeking the favour of poor people,
⇔ ≈because their own hands must return their wealth.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
בָּ֭נָיו יְרַצּ֣וּ דַלִּ֑ים וְ֝יָדָ֗יו תָּשֵׁ֥בְנָה אוֹנֽוֹ
children_of,his seek_the_favour poor and,hands_of,his give_back wealth_of,his
You may find it more natural to put the information about what a wicked person will have to do while he is still alive before the information about what his children will have to do after he dies. Alternate translation: “His hands will return his wealth, and his children will recompense the poor”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְ֝יָדָ֗יו תָּשֵׁ֥בְנָה אוֹנֽוֹ
and,hands_of,his give_back wealth_of,his
Zophar is using one part of a wicked person, his hands, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he will return his wealth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְ֝יָדָ֗יו תָּשֵׁ֥בְנָה אוֹנֽוֹ
and,hands_of,his give_back wealth_of,his
The implication is that this is wealth that a wicked person obtained fraudulently or by oppression and that he has been required to return. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and he will have to return the wealth that he obtained fraudulently and by oppression”
20:10 Because stolen riches are ill-gotten, they provide no lasting benefit (20:18-21).
OET (OET-LV) Children_of_his they_will_seek_the_favour_of poor_[people] and_hands_of_his they_will_return wealth_of_his.
OET (OET-RV) Their children will be seeking the favour of poor people,
⇔ ≈because their own hands must return their wealth.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
