OET interlinear JOB 32:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּ֤עַן & וַ⁠יֹּ֫אמַ֥ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼElīhū son_of Barachel the,Buzite and,he_said young I to,days and,you(pl) old on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so timid and=I_was_afraid from,declaring knowledge_of,my ,you(pl) )

As the introduction to Job discusses, this phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose a person said something. Specifically, the person said it in order to answer or respond to what someone else said. See how you have been translating this expression. Alternate translation: [And … responded]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ֭⁠יָמִים

to,days

Elihu is using the term days to refer to his age. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in age]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

וְ⁠אַתֶּ֣ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼElīhū son_of Barachel the,Buzite and,he_said young I to,days and,you(pl) old on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so timid and=I_was_afraid from,declaring knowledge_of,my ,you(pl) )

As the introduction to this chapter discusses, the word you is plural here because Elihu is addressing Job’s three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
