כִּ֣י תֹ֭אמְרוּ מַה־נִּרְדָּף־ל֑וֹ וְשֹׁ֥רֶשׁ דָּ֝בָ֗ר נִמְצָא־בִֽי
that/for/because/then/when say what? persecute to=him/it and,root trouble he/it_was_found in/on/at/with,me
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “If you say that you are still going to persecute me because you believe that the root of the matter is found in me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
תֹ֭אמְרוּ
say
The word you is plural here because Job is addressing his three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְשֹׁ֥רֶשׁ דָּ֝בָ֗ר
and,root trouble
Job is saying that his friends might speak as if his situation were literally a plant that had a root. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “For the cause of the problem”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
בִֽי
in/on/at/with,me
Job seems to begin this hypothetical saying of the three friends as a direct quotation but finish it as an indirect quotation, saying in me rather than “in him.” It may be more natural in your language to finish the quotation as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: “in him”
