Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

חָתֻ֣ם בִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר פִּשְׁעִ֑⁠י

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “You would seal my transgression in a bag”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חָתֻ֣ם בִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר פִּשְׁעִ֑⁠י

sealed_up in/on/at/with,bag transgression,my

Job is speaking as if God would literally seal his transgression in a bag. He means that God would forgive his transgression and no longer regard it, as if it were hidden from view and inaccessible. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You would completely forgive my transgression”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ֝⁠תִּטְפֹּ֗ל עַל־עֲוֺנִֽ⁠י

and,cover on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in my=perversity/evil/guilt/punishment

Job is speaking as if God would literally plaster over his iniquity. Once again he means that God would forgive him and no longer regard his iniquity, as if it were hidden from view. Job is using the same terminology as in 13:4, where he said that his friends were plastering him with a lie. There he meant that while he was righteous, his friends were making it appear that he was sinful. Here he means that God would make him appear righteous because God would have forgiven all of his sin. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you would make me appear righteous”
