כִּֽי
that/for/because/then/when
Eliphaz is using the word For to introduce the reason why he says that trouble does not just happen. Its cause is known: People create trouble for themselves. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “I say this because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
־אָ֭דָם לְעָמָ֣ל יוּלָּ֑ד וּבְנֵי־רֶ֝֗שֶׁף יַגְבִּ֥יהוּ עֽוּף׃
humankind to,trouble born and=the_sons flame upward (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when humankind to,trouble born and=the_sons flame upward fly )
Eliphaz assumes that Job will understand that by naming two things that he holds to be true, he means that the first is just as true as the second. You could indicate that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “man is born to trouble, just as surely as sons of the flame soar to fly”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אָ֭דָם לְעָמָ֣ל יוּלָּ֑ד
humankind to,trouble born
Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “people are born to trouble”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אָ֭דָם לְעָמָ֣ל יוּלָּ֑ד
humankind to,trouble born
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: “people have an innate tendency to cause trouble for themselves”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבְנֵי־רֶ֝֗שֶׁף
and=the_sons flame
Eliphaz is describing sparks as if they were sons of the flame, that is, as if fire gave birth to sparks and sent them out. Your language may have a poetic expression of its own that you could use in your translation to describe sparks. You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and sparks”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יַגְבִּ֥יהוּ עֽוּף
upward fly
This expression means that sparks fly upwards, carried by currents of air. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “fly upwards”
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.
