uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פְּתַח־פִּ֥י⁠ךָ לְ⁠אִלֵּ֑ם

open mouth_of,your for,mute

Open your mouth refers to doing so in order to say something to defend someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Open your mouth to speak on behalf of a mute one”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְ⁠אִלֵּ֑ם אֶל־דִּ֝֗ין כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י חֲלֽוֹף

for,mute to/towards rights_of all/each/any/every sons_of destitute

Here, a mute one, the legal claim, and the one passing away refer to these people and things in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “for any mute person, for any legal claim of all the sons of any person passing away”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֶל־דִּ֝֗ין

to/towards rights_of

Lemuel’s mother is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence or use a connecting word if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “open your mouth for the legal claim of” or “and for the legal claim of”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּנֵ֥י חֲלֽוֹף

sons_of destitute

See how you translated the same use of the sons of in [31:5](../31/05.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

חֲלֽוֹף

destitute

Lemuel’s mother is referring to death in a polite way by using the phrase passing away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more normal polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “the dying one”

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.
