OET (OET-LV) He_will_keep_back soul_his from [the]_pit and_life_his from_perishing in/on/at/with_sword.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
יַחְשֹׂ֣ךְ נַ֭פְשׁוֹ
spares soul,his
The pronoun He refers to God, and the pronoun his refers to a person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God spares a person’s soul”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
נַ֭פְשׁוֹ & וְ֝חַיָּת֗וֹ
soul,his & and,life,his
Elihu is using parts of a person, his soul and his life, to mean all of him in the act of being spared from death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “him … and he spares him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
מֵעֲבֹ֥ר
from,perishing
Elihu is using the phrase crossing over to mean “dying.” This is a poetic way of referring to death; it suggests the image of crossing a river that is the boundary between one territory and another. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from dying”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בַּשָּֽׁלַח
in/on/at/with,sword
Elihu is using the term weapon by association to being killed by a weapon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by being killed by a weapon”
33:18 from crossing over the river of death: This phrase may also be translated from passing [i.e., dying] by the sword. Both translations fit the context (cp. 36:12).

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.
