uW Translation Notes:

יִתֵּ֧ן לְ⁠מַכֵּ֛⁠הוּ לֶ֖חִי

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave to,[the_of,one_who]_strikes_him cheek filled with,reproach )

In the writer’s culture, giving one’s cheek to the one striking him was a symbolic action that signified patient acceptance of suffering and willingness to endure insult without retaliation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [Let him patiently accept the blows of the one who strikes him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠חֶרְפָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave to,[the_of,one_who]_strikes_him cheek filled with,reproach )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of reproach, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [with insults]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
