Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
נִ֭בְלָעֵם
swallow,them
By us, the sinners are referring to themselves but not other people, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נִ֭בְלָעֵם
swallow,them
The sinners speak of murdering people as if they were swallowing them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Let us destroy them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּשְׁא֣וֹל חַיִּ֑ים וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים כְּי֣וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר
like,sheol life(pl) and,whole like,go_down pit
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: “the living ones, like Sheol, yes, the whole ones, like those going down to a pit”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
כִּשְׁא֣וֹל
like,sheol
The sinners are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “like Sheol swallows people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
כִּשְׁא֣וֹל
like,sheol
Here, Sheol is spoken of as if it were a living thing that could swallow someone. The idea of Sheol swallowing someone refers to how people are completely gone after they die and are buried. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “like Sheol completely covers people”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים
and,whole
The sinners are leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the beginning of the verse. Alternate translation: “and let us swallow the whole ones”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים
and,whole
Here, whole refers to being completely healthy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the healthy ones”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
כְּי֣וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר
like,go_down pit
The sinners are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “like those going down to a pit are swallowed”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כְּי֣וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר
like,go_down pit
The Israelites referred to dying as going down to Sheol or a pit. Here the sinners are saying that their victims are like those going down to a pit because those people will die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “like those who die”
