Note 1 topic: translate-names
הַֽ֭תְקַשֵּׁר מַעֲדַנּ֣וֹת כִּימָ֑ה אֽוֹ־מֹשְׁכ֖וֹת כְּסִ֣יל תְּפַתֵּֽחַ
(Some words not found in UHB: will,you_bind_on? chains_of pleiades or cords_of orion untie/release )
See how you translated the names Pleiades and Orion in 9:9. Alternate translation: [Will you tie the bands of the Seven Sisters, or loose the cords of the Hunter]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הַֽ֭תְקַשֵּׁר מַעֲדַנּ֣וֹת כִּימָ֑ה אֽוֹ־מֹשְׁכ֖וֹת כְּסִ֣יל תְּפַתֵּֽחַ
(Some words not found in UHB: will,you_bind_on? chains_of pleiades or cords_of orion untie/release )
Yahweh is speaking as if these constellations were held together in the sky by bands and cords. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Are you the one who keeps the stars in the Pleiades together? Would you be able to make the stars in Orion drift apart]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אֽוֹ־מֹשְׁכ֖וֹת כְּסִ֣יל תְּפַתֵּֽחַ
or (Some words not found in UHB: will,you_bind_on? chains_of pleiades or cords_of orion untie/release )
Yahweh 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. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Or will you loose the cords of Orion]
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.
