כִּ֤י ה֣וּא יַכְאִ֣יב וְיֶחְבָּ֑שׁ יִ֝מְחַ֗ץ וְיָדָיו תִּרְפֶּֽינָה
that/for/because/then/when he/it wounds and,binds_up strikes (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it wounds and,binds_up strikes and,hands,his heal )
Eliphaz is speaking as if God literally injures and wounds people and then gives them medical treatment. He means that God uses setbacks and sufferings (which could include physical ailments) to correct people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. The UST models one way to do this.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ה֣וּא יַכְאִ֣יב
he/it wounds
For emphasis, Eliphaz is stating the pronoun he, whose meaning is already present in the word translated injures. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “truly he injures”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְיָדָיו תִּרְפֶּֽינָה
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it wounds and,binds_up strikes and,hands,his heal )
Eliphaz is using one part of God, his hands, to mean all of him in the act of healing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but he himself heals”
OET (OET-LV) If/because he he_causes_pain and_binds_up he_smashes and_hands_his[fn] they_heal.
5:18 Variant note: ו/יד/ו: (x-qere) ’וְ/יָדָ֥י/ו’: lemma_c/3027 morph_HC/Ncbdc/Sp3ms id_18TMW וְ/יָדָ֥י/ו
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.
