OET (OET-RV) If I was innocent, my mouth would condemn me.
⇔ If I was blameless, it would declare me guilty.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶ֭צְדָּק
innocent
See how you translated the term righteous in 9:15. In this context, the term righteous implicitly describes being the unjustly injured party in a lawsuit. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I were in the right”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
פִּ֣י יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑נִי
mouth,my condemn,me
Job is using the term mouth to mean by association what he would say by using his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I said would condemn me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
פִּ֣י יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑נִי
mouth,my condemn,me
Job is speaking of his mouth as if it were a living thing that could condemn him. He means that God would condemn him for what he said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God would condemn me for what I said”
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) If I was innocent, my mouth would condemn me.
⇔ If I was blameless, it would declare me guilty.
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.
