OET interlinear JOB 34:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

בִּלְעֲדֵ֣י אֶ֭חֱזֶה אַתָּ֣ה הֹרֵ֑⁠נִי אִֽם־עָ֥וֶל פָּ֝עַ֗לְתִּי לֹ֣א אֹסִֽיף

cannot see you(ms) teach,me if wrong done not do_~_again

If you decided in the previous verse to translate this quotation in such a way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “if he asks God to teach him what he cannot see, and if he says that if he has done iniquity, he will not continue”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

בִּלְעֲדֵ֣י אֶ֭חֱזֶה אַתָּ֣ה הֹרֵ֑⁠נִי אִֽם־עָ֥וֶל פָּ֝עַ֗לְתִּי לֹ֣א אֹסִֽיף

cannot see you(ms) teach,me if wrong done not do_~_again

This verse continues the hypothetical situation that Elihu is suggesting in order to illustrate a point. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “And suppose that person asked God to teach him what he could not see, and suppose he told God that if he had done iniquity, he would not continue.”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

אַתָּ֣ה הֹרֵ֑⁠נִי

you(ms) teach,me

For emphasis, Elihu is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated teach. 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: “please teach me”
