OET interlinear JOB 21:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ֭⁠הוּא לִ⁠קְבָר֣וֹת יוּבָ֑ל

and=he to,grave Jubal

The word that the ULT translates as brought forth here is the same word that it translates as “brought forth” in verse 30. Job is saying that a wicked person is not only spared from God’s punishment, he is buried with honor in a great procession (which Job describes further in the next verse). Your language may similarly have a term that you could use in both contexts to show the contrast that Job is drawing here between what a wicked person deserves and what he gets.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֭⁠הוּא & יוּבָ֑ל

and=he & Jubal

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: “Indeed, people will carry him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְֽ⁠עַל־גָּדִ֥ישׁ יִשְׁקֽוֹד

and,over tomb watch_~_kept

The implication is that people will keep watch over the wicked person’s burial mound to make sure that it is kept in good order and not desecrated. In other words, even in death the wicked person has an honored place in the community. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and people from the community will watch his burial mound to make sure that no one desecrates it”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

גָּדִ֥ישׁ

tomb

In this culture, to show special honor to a person after his death, people might build a mound of stones or earth over his grave. If your readers would not be familiar with this practice, in your translation you could name a comparable practice of your own culture, or you could convey the meaning with a general expression. Alternate translation: “his honorable burial site”
