Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לָא֡וֹר
to_the=light
This expression describes the time of day when it is just beginning to get light. There is enough light for the murderer to see, but not enough light for him to be identified. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “In the morning twilight,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
יָ֘ק֤וּם רוֹצֵ֗חַ יִֽקְטָל & יְהִ֣י כַגַּנָּֽב
rises murderer kills & let_it_be like_a,thief
Job is not referring to a specific murderer. He means murderers in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “murderers arise; they kill … they are like thieves”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן
poor and,needy
Job is using the adjectives poor and needy as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “poor people and needy people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן
poor and,needy
The terms poor and needy mean similar things. Job is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “desperately poor people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וּ֝בַלַּ֗יְלָה יְהִ֣י כַגַּנָּֽב
and=in_the=night let_it_be like_a,thief
The point of this comparison is that the murderer escapes apprehension because he commits his crime in dim light and at a time when people are sleeping. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and he is like a thief in the night, whom no one sees commit his crime”
