OET (OET-LV) Let_be_darkened the eyes of_them, which not to_be_seeing, and the back of_them through all time bend.
OET (OET-RV) Let their eyes be darkened so they can’t see,
⇔ and their backs be bent through all time.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν, τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν
/let_be/_darkened the eyes ˱of˲_them ¬which not /to_be/_seeing
This clause refers to being unable to understand something. See how you translated “eyes not to see” in 11:8. Alternate translation: [Let them be unable to understand]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν
/let_be/_darkened the eyes ˱of˲_them
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Blind their eyes]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν διὰ παντὸς σύνκαμψον
the back ˱of˲_them through all_‹time› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν καὶ τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν διὰ παντὸς σύγκαμψον)
This clause refers to making people suffer like how slaves suffer by carrying heavy burdens on their backs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [make them suffer continually]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks
παντὸς
all_‹time›
The end of this verse is the end of a quotation from Psalm 69:22–23. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with a closing quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a quotation.
OET (OET-LV) Let_be_darkened the eyes of_them, which not to_be_seeing, and the back of_them through all time bend.
OET (OET-RV) Let their eyes be darkened so they can’t see,
⇔ and their backs be bent through all time.’
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.
