OET (OET-RV) If that isn’t true, then who will prove me a liar
⇔ ≈and demonstrate that my words mean nothing?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְאִם־לֹ֣א אֵ֭פוֹ מִ֣י יַכְזִיבֵ֑נִי וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְ֝אַ֗ל מִלָּתִֽי
and=if not then who? prove_~_aliar,me and,show to,nothing speech,my
Job is 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 if anyone believes that what I have said is not true, then I challenge him to prove me wrong and show that what I have said is not valid”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאִם־לֹ֣א
and=if not
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “And if what I am saying is not true”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְ֝אַ֗ל מִלָּתִֽי
and,show to,nothing speech,my
This expression means to show that something is of no value, that is, not valid. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and show that my word is not valid”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִלָּתִֽי
speech,my
Job is using the term word to mean what he has been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I have said”
OET (OET-RV) If that isn’t true, then who will prove me a liar
⇔ ≈and demonstrate that my words mean nothing?
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.
