OET (OET-RV) ⇔ Although their evil tastes sweet in their mouths,
⇔ they hide it under their tongues.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
תַּמְתִּ֣יק בְּפִ֣יו רָעָ֑ה
sweet in/on/at/with,mouth,his evil
Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person could literally put wickedness in his mouth and taste it and find it sweet. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he enjoys wickedness”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
תַּמְתִּ֣יק בְּפִ֣יו רָעָ֑ה
sweet in/on/at/with,mouth,his evil
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wickedness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “wicked things are sweet in his mouth” or “he enjoys doing wicked things”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יַ֝כְחִידֶ֗נָּה תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנֽוֹ
hides,it below/instead_of tongue,his
Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person might hide wickedness under his tongue. The image is of a person tucking something sweet under his tongue to make it last longer so that he can savor it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he savors it” or “he savors doing wicked things”
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ Although their evil tastes sweet in their mouths,
⇔ they hide it under their tongues.
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.
