OET (OET-RV) He doesn’t preserve the life of evil people,
⇔ but he gives justice to those who’re suffering.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
לֹא־יְחַיֶּ֥ה רָשָׁ֑ע
not keep_~_alive wicked
Elihu is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He punishes the wicked by killing them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
רָשָׁ֑ע & עֲנִיִּ֣ים
wicked & afflicted
Elihu is using the adjectives wicked and lowly as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “wicked people … lowly people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וּמִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִתֵּֽן
and,justice afflicted he/it_gave
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “but he makes sure that others treat lowly people fairly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
עֲנִיִּ֣ים
afflicted
See how you translated the term lowly in 29:12.
OET (OET-RV) He doesn’t preserve the life of evil people,
⇔ but he gives justice to those who’re suffering.
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.
