Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
עֵינִ֧י נִגְּרָ֛ה וְלֹ֥א תִדְמֶ֖ה
eye_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: eye_of,my flow and=not ceasing from,not respite )
The writer speaks of his eye as if it were a person who could pour out tears on its own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I pour out tears and do not cease]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְלֹ֥א תִדְמֶ֖ה מֵאֵ֥ין הֲפֻגֽוֹת
and=not ceasing from,not respite
The writer says does not cease, without stopping as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [does not cease for any relief]
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.
