Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין
I answer,you words
Elihu is using the term words to mean what he is going to say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will speak in reply to you”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
אֲ֭נִי
I
For emphasis, Elihu is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated answer. 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 showing this emphasis. Alternate translation: “I myself”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְֽאֶת־רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ
and=DOM friends,your with,you
Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and I will answer your friends with you”
35:4-8 Elihu attempted to answer his own question (35:2), but his answer did not add to what Zophar (11:8-9), Eliphaz (22:12), Bildad (25:5-6), and Job (9:8-10) had already said. Elihu failed to recognize that all sin wrongs God (Gen 39:9; Matt 25:41-46; cp. Prov 19:17).
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.
