OET (OET-LV) There you_all all_you_all you_all_have_seen and_for_what this vanity do_you_all_become_vain.
OET (OET-RV) Yes, all of you have seen this for yourselves,
⇔ so why do you vainly speak such nonsense?
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אַתֶּ֣ם כֻּלְּכֶ֣ם חֲזִיתֶ֑ם
yourselves all,you_all seen
For emphasis, Job is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated know. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun yourselves. Alternate translation: “all of you have seen this quite clearly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַתֶּ֣ם כֻּלְּכֶ֣ם חֲזִיתֶ֑ם
yourselves all,you_all seen
In this context, to see means to “experience.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “all of you have experienced this quite consistently”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְלָמָּה־זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ
and=for=what? this Heⱱel/(Abel) talk
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: “therefore you should not vainly speak this vanity”
Note 4 topic: writing-poetry
וְלָמָּה־זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ
and=for=what? this Heⱱel/(Abel) talk
For emphasis, Job is using a construction in which a subject and its verb come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “why then do you speak this utter vanity” or, as a statement, “you should therefore not speak this utter vanity”
27:9-23 Some interpreters see a new speech here and ascribe it to Zophar because otherwise Zophar has no speech in this cycle.
OET (OET-LV) There you_all all_you_all you_all_have_seen and_for_what this vanity do_you_all_become_vain.
OET (OET-RV) Yes, all of you have seen this for yourselves,
⇔ so why do you vainly speak such nonsense?
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.
