⇔ ≈and may my opponents receive the same as unjust people.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יְהִ֣י כְ֭רָשָׁע אֹ֣יְבִ֑י וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י כְעַוָּֽל
let_it_be like,wicked enemy,my and,opponent,my like,unjust
In this culture, people would make clear that they did not want something to happen to them by saying they wanted it to happen to their enemies. That showed that it was the opposite of what they wanted for themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I do not want to be anything like the wicked or the unrighteous”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
כְ֭רָשָׁע & כְעַוָּֽל
like,wicked & like,unjust
Job is using the adjectives wicked and unrighteous as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “like wicked people … like unrighteous people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י כְעַוָּֽל
and,opponent,my like,unjust
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 may the one rising up against me be like the unrighteous”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י
and,opponent,my
Job is speaking as if this person were literally rising up, that is, standing up from a seating or lying position, in order to attack him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the one opposing me”
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ May my enemies get the same reward as wicked people,
⇔ ≈and may my opponents receive the same as unjust people.
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.
