uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ֭⁠הָיִיתָ כְּ⁠שֹׁכֵ֣ב בְּ⁠לֶב־יָ֑ם וּ֝⁠כְ⁠שֹׁכֵ֗ב בְּ⁠רֹ֣אשׁ חִבֵּֽל

and,be like,lies_down in/on/at/with,midst_of sea and,like,lies_down in/on/at/with,top_of mast

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “And you will be like one who lies down in the heart of the sea; yes, like one who lies down at the head of a mast”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠שֹׁכֵ֣ב בְּ⁠לֶב־יָ֑ם

like,lies_down in/on/at/with,midst_of sea

The writer is saying that a drunk person is like someone who lies down in the heart of the sea because that person feels dizzy, nauseous, and unsteady, like someone on a boat in the middle of the ocean. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “dizzy and nauseous”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠לֶב־יָ֑ם

in/on/at/with,midst_of sea

Here, heart refers to the middle of the sea, which is far away from land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in the middle of the sea” or “far out in the ocean”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וּ֝⁠כְ⁠שֹׁכֵ֗ב בְּ⁠רֹ֣אשׁ חִבֵּֽל

and,like,lies_down in/on/at/with,top_of mast

The writer is saying that a drunk person is like someone who lies down at the head of a mast, because that person feels dizzy and stumbles like someone who sways back and forth at the top of the mast of a ship in the ocean. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and swaying from side to side”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

בְּ⁠רֹ֣אשׁ חִבֵּֽל

in/on/at/with,top_of mast

The phrase head of a mast refers to the top of a long, wooden pole to which a very large cloth, called a sail, was attached. Wind blown into the sail propelled the ship. The top of the mast would sway back and forth more than any other part of the ship, so someone at the head of a mast could easily become dizzy. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of mast, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “at the highest point on a ship”

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.
