Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
תָּמֹ֣ת בַּנֹּ֣עַר נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם בַּקְּדֵשִֽׁים
die in/on/at/with,youth soul_of,them and,life,their in/on/at/with,cult_prostitutes
You may find it more natural to put the information about what happens during the life of these disobedient people before the information about when they die. Alternate translation: “They live among the cultic prostitutes, and they die young”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
תָּמֹ֣ת בַּנֹּ֣עַר נַפְשָׁ֑ם
die in/on/at/with,youth soul_of,them
Elihu is using one part of these disobedient people, their soul, to mean all of them in the act of dying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “They die in youth”
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
תָּמֹ֣ת & נַפְשָׁ֑ם
die & soul_of,them
If you retain the use of the term soul for the whole person in your translation, since Elihu is speaking of many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of soul. Alternate translation: “Their souls die”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בַּנֹּ֣עַר
in/on/at/with,youth
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of youth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “while they are still young”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם בַּקְּדֵשִֽׁים
and,life,their in/on/at/with,cult_prostitutes
Elihu is using the life of these people to mean all of them in the act of living. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they live among the cultic prostitutes”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם בַּקְּדֵשִֽׁים
and,life,their in/on/at/with,cult_prostitutes
Elihu means implicitly that these disobedient people are reduced to making their living as cultic prostitutes, that is, as people who perform sexual acts in connection with religious rites. (Your language may have a discreet expression for this kind of activity that you may wish to use in your translation. The UST models one way to do that.) Alternate translation: “and they are reduced to making a living as cultic prostitutes”

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.
