Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

אִם־חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בּ֑⁠וֹ וְ⁠רַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗י⁠ךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לּֽ⁠וֹ

Elihu is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “If you sin, you do not accomplish anything against God. If your transgressions multiply, you do not do anything to him.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠רַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗י⁠ךָ

and,multiplied transgressions,your

Elihu is speaking of Job’s supposed transgressions as if they were living things that could multiply on their own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Or if you commit many transgressions”
