By Waters flowed over my head, the writer means that water in the cistern rose up around him and he was in danger of drowning (see Jeremiah 38:6). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The water in the cistern rose over my head]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִגְזָֽרְתִּי
(Some words not found in UHB: closed waters on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in my=head said cut_off )
The expression I am cut off is a passive verbal form. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [They have cut me off]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
נִגְזָֽרְתִּי
(Some words not found in UHB: closed waters on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in my=head said cut_off )
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this so that there is not a direct quotation but an indirect one. Alternate translation: [that I was cut off]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
נִגְזָֽרְתִּי
(Some words not found in UHB: closed waters on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in my=head said cut_off )
The expression I am cut off was a common expression meaning I am about to die or I am separated from the living. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am about to die]
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.
