Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְ֭אֵלַי דָּבָ֣ר יְגֻנָּ֑ב
and,to,me word came_stealing
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: “Now someone brought a word to me secretly”
Note 2 topic: writing-background
וְ֭אֵלַי
and,to,me
Eliphaz is using the word translated Now to introduce background information that will help Job understand what he says next. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
דָּבָ֣ר
word
Eliphaz is using the term word to mean a message that was communicated to him by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a message”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַתִּקַּ֥ח אָ֝זְנִ֗י
and=she/it_took ear,my
Eliphaz is using one part of himself, his ear, to mean all of him in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I heard”
4:12-16 Eliphaz posed as a prophet, implying that God spoke to him in secret (Num 12:6); later God did speak to him, but not to affirm his counsel (Job 42:7).
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.
