Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
צַדִּ֣יק הָרִאשׁ֣וֹן בְּרִיב֑וֹ וּבָֽא־רֵ֝עֵ֗הוּ וַחֲקָרֽוֹ
law-abiding/just the,first in/on/at/with,case_of,his (Some words not found in UHB: law-abiding/just the,first in/on/at/with,case_of,his יבא his/its=neighbour and,cross-examines,him )
This verse refers to a dispute in which one person states his case that seems to be right until that person’s neighbor examines him by asking him questions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “When people dispute, the first one states his case and seems to be right. Then his neighbor comes and questions what he said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
הָרִאשׁ֣וֹן בְּרִיב֑וֹ & רֵ֝עֵ֗הוּ וַחֲקָרֽוֹ
the,first in/on/at/with,case_of,his & his/its=neighbour and,cross-examines,him
The first one, his, and him refer to a type of person, not a particular first one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any first person with that person’s case … that person’s neighbor … and examines that person”
Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal
הָרִאשׁ֣וֹן
the,first
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “Person one”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
וּבָֽא־רֵ֝עֵ֗הוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: law-abiding/just the,first in/on/at/with,case_of,his יבא his/its=neighbour and,cross-examines,him )
Solomon uses the word then here to indicate a contrast between the idea of the previous clause and this clause. Solomon implies that the results of examining the first one will be that his case is not right. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate a contrast. Alternate translation: “but then his neighbor comes”
18:17 It is important to hear both sides of a dispute. Only fools jump to conclusions and rush to judgment; the wise take time to discern.

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.
