יִרְחֲק֣וּ & מִיֶּ֑שַׁע
far & from,safety
Eliphaz is speaking as if the children of a person who does not respect and obey God are literally far from safety. He means that they are not safe at all but in great danger. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are in great danger”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מִיֶּ֑שַׁע
from,safety
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of safety, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “from being safe”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְיִֽדַּכְּא֥וּ בַ֝שַּׁ֗עַר
and,crushed in/on/at/with,gate
By the gate, Eliphaz implicitly means the place where legal disputes are settled. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and they are crushed in legal proceedings”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְיִֽדַּכְּא֥וּ בַ֝שַּׁ֗עַר
and,crushed in/on/at/with,gate
Eliphaz is speaking as if the children of a person who does not respect and obey God are literally crushed in legal disputes. He means that the disputes are settled decisively in favor of their opponents. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and their opponents in legal proceedings defeat them decisively”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל
and,no deliverer
Eliphaz implicitly means that there is no one rescuing these children from legal defeats and their consequences. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “because no one defends them”
5:4 The court (literally the gate) was the site of legal and commercial deliberations in which Job had participated (29:7; see Deut 21:19-21; Ruth 4:1-11).
