Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
מֵרְשָׁעִ֣ים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,withheld from, light,their and,arm uplifted broken )
Yahweh is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wicked people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
וְיִמָּנַ֣ע & אוֹרָ֑ם
and,withheld & light,their
For emphasis, Yahweh is saying the opposite of what he means. As Job said in 24:16–17, for wicked people, day is like night (they stay at home and do not know what is going on outside) and night is like day (that is when they go out). So here Yahweh is speaking as if night were light, saying how wicked people see this from their perspective. If a speaker of your language would not say the opposite of what he means, in your translation you could indicate what Yahweh actually means. Alternate translation: “And … their opportunity to go out and commit crimes is withheld”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְיִמָּנַ֣ע & אוֹרָ֑ם
and,withheld & light,their
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And … the day withholds their opportunity to go out and commit crimes”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּזְר֥וֹעַ רָ֝מָ֗ה תִּשָּׁבֵֽר
and,arm uplifted broken
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and their high arm breaks”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּזְר֥וֹעַ רָ֝מָ֗ה תִּשָּׁבֵֽר
and,arm uplifted broken
Yahweh is speaking as if each wicked person had lifted his arm up high in order to strike a vulnerable person violently with it but that the arm had then been broken so that the wicked person could not use it that way. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they cannot commit violence against anyone”
