Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
הָאֹמְרִ֣ים לָ֭אֵל ס֣וּר מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וּמַה־יִּפְעַ֖ל שַׁדַּ֣י לָֽמוֹ
the,said to_THE,God depart from=him/it and,what do almighty to,
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “the ones who told God to turn away from them and asked what the Almighty would do to them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ס֣וּר מִמֶּ֑נּוּ
depart from=him/it
Eliphaz depicts these wicked people as speaking as if they wanted God literally to turn away from them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same expression in 21:14. Alternate translation: “Do not be concerned with us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
וּמַה־יִּפְעַ֖ל שַׁדַּ֣י לָֽמוֹ
and,what do almighty to,
The wicked people are speaking about themselves in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “and, ‘What will the Almighty do to us’”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמַה־יִּפְעַ֖ל שַׁדַּ֣י לָֽמוֹ
and,what do almighty to,
The wicked people are 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: “and, ‘The Almighty will not do anything to us!’”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּמַה־יִּפְעַ֖ל שַׁדַּ֣י לָֽמוֹ
and,what do almighty to,
The wicked people implicitly mean that the Almighty will not do anything to punish them if they do the wrong actions that they are contemplating. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and, ‘The Almighty will not do anything to us if we do evil things!’”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
