Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אָנֹכִ֣י אֶֽעֱנֶ֑נּוּ
also/though that/for/because/then/when I answer,him
Indeed that is an expression that indicates that what follows is greater in degree than what a person has just said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “How much less would I be able to answer him”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
אַ֭ף כִּֽי־אָנֹכִ֣י אֶֽעֱנֶ֑נּוּ
also/though that/for/because/then/when I answer,him
For emphasis, Job is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated will answer. 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: “How much less would a mere mortal such as I be able to answer him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶבְחֲרָ֖ה דְבָרַ֣י עִמּֽוֹ
choose words,my with=him/it
Job is using the expression choose words to mean by association arguing a case against God, since he would have to choose the right words in order to do that. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “argue a case against him”
9:1-35 Job responded to Bildad by describing God’s cosmic and judicial power. His speech sounds like a complicated legal case, with a summons and response (9:3, 14-16, 19b, 32), the possibility of self-incrimination (9:20), an arbiter (9:33-34), an accusatory question (9:12), a legal sentence (9:22), and a declaration of guilt (9:28-30).
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.
