OET (OET-RV) Even today my complaint is bitter.
⇔ ≈I’m groaning because my situation is so difficult.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
גַּם־הַ֭יּוֹם
also/yet the=day
Job is using this expression to emphasize to his friends that their arguments have not changed his situation at all. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Despite all the things you have said to me,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מְרִ֣י שִׂחִ֑י
bitter complaint,my
Job is speaking as if his complaint about what has happened to him is bitter or bad-tasting. The image is that what he says is so unpleasant that it leaves a bad taste in his mouth when he says it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have many unpleasant things to complain about”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יָ֝דִ֗י כָּבְדָ֥ה עַל־אַנְחָתִֽי
hand,my heavy on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in groaning,my
Job is speaking as if he were literally holding his hand down hard on his groaning in order to suppress it. He means that there is more that he could groan or complain about than he has actually stated yet. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have been suppressing my groaning”
23:2 Job dropped the doubt he had expressed earlier (9:14-20, 32) and here expressed confidence that he could successfully present his complaint.
OET (OET-RV) Even today my complaint is bitter.
⇔ ≈I’m groaning because my situation is so difficult.
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.
