OET interlinear JOB 39:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠יָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֭ת לֶ֣דֶת יַעֲלֵי־סָ֑לַע

?,know when give_birth goats mountain

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, this could mean: (1) that Yahweh wants Job to try to answer this question and the questions in the rest of the chapter so that Job will have to admit that he does not know the answers. Alternate translation: “You do not know the time of the bearing of the goats of the rock, do you?” (2) that Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You do not know the time of the bearing of the goats of the rock!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַעֲלֵי־סָ֑לַע

goats mountain

Yahweh is using the term rock by association to identify these goats by where they live. Your language may have its own name for goats of this type that identifies them by where they live. If not, you could identify them with a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: “mountain goats” or “wild goats” or “goats that live among the rocks”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חֹלֵ֖ל אַיָּל֣וֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר

calving deer observe

The implication of this question is that Job would have to know when female deer were going to bear their fawns in order to be there to watch them give birth. So this question means basically the same thing as the first question in the verse. You could indicate this meaning in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Would you know when the does were going to give birth to their fawns so that you could be there to watch”
