Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
לֹֽא־יִ֭תְּנֵנִי הָשֵׁ֣ב רוּחִ֑י כִּ֥י יַ֝שְׂבִּעַ֗נִי מַמְּרֹרִֽים
not let,me get my=breath/wind/spirit that/for/because/then/when fills,me bitterness
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “He fills me with bitterness, and by doing that, he does not allow me to cause my breath to return”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הָשֵׁ֣ב רוּחִ֑י
get my=breath/wind/spirit
This expression means to rest in order to start breathing regularly again after exertion or extended speaking. Your language may have an expression for this that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “to catch my breath”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יַ֝שְׂבִּעַ֗נִי מַמְּרֹרִֽים
fills,me bitterness
Job is speaking of himself as if he were a container that God fills with bitterness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he causes me great bitterness”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יַ֝שְׂבִּעַ֗נִי מַמְּרֹרִֽים
fills,me bitterness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of bitterness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “he makes my life very bitter”
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).
OET (OET-RV) He doesn’t let me catch my breath.
⇔ He fills me with bitterness.
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.
