Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
אִם
if
Elihu is implicitly drawing a contrast, suggesting that, on the other hand, Job may not have anything to say once he has listened to him further. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the contrast explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “But if”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
אַתָּ֥ה שְֽׁמַֽע־לִ֑י
you(ms) listen to=me
For emphasis, Elihu is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated listen. 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. Alternate translation: “you be the one who listens while I speak”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
חָכְמָֽה
wisdom
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is wise”
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.
