1.1 KiB
the grave ... the place of the dead ... in the darkness ... the place of forgetfulness
All of these represent the place where people go after they die.
Will your wonderful deeds be known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?
Both questions mean the same thing. The writer uses questions to emphasize that those who are dead are not able to experience or proclaim the great things God does. This can be stated in active form. AT: "People will not talk about your wonderful deeds and righteousness in the dark place of the forgotten dead." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?
This can be translated as a separate sentence. AT: "Will your righteousness be known in the place of forgetfulness?" or "Those who are in the place of forgetfulness will not know about the righteous things you do." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
