וְֽלֹא־אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִר֣וֹת בַּלָּֽיְלָה
and=not he/it_had_said where god maker,my gives songs in/on/at/with,night
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “But one does not ask where God his Maker is, the one giving songs in the night”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַ֭יֵּה אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֹשָׂ֑י
where god maker,my
The expression Where is indicates a desire to know whether God will act. For example, in 2 Kings 2:14, Elisha asks, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” as he strikes the Jordan River with Elijah’s coat in order to part its waters so that he can walk across the riverbed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the question as the expression of a wish. Alternate translation: “I wish that God my Maker would act on my behalf”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִר֣וֹת בַּלָּֽיְלָה
gives songs in/on/at/with,night
Here, night represents difficult circumstances, and songs represent the rejoicing of a person whom God has delivered. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one delivering people from difficult circumstances”
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.
