אָדָ֣ם חָ֔י גֶּ֖בֶר
humankind living_(creature) (Some words not found in UHB: what? complain humankind living_(creature) man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ,his )
Although the writer uses the masculine terms a living man and a man, he means these to apply to people in general, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [a living person … a person]

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: what? complain humankind living_(creature) man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ,his )
By about his sins, the writer means “about the punishment he receives for his sins.” You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [about his punishment for sin]

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.
