If you decided in the previous verse to translate this quotation in a such way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “I said that my root was spread out to the waters and that the dew lodged on my branch”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שָׁרְשִׁ֣⁠י פָת֣וּחַ אֱלֵי־מָ֑יִם וְ֝⁠טַ֗ל יָלִ֥ין בִּ⁠קְצִירִֽ⁠י

roots,my spread_out to water and,dew all_night in/on/at/with,branches,my

Job spoke of himself in those days as if he were literally a tree that was healthy and flourishing because it was getting all the moisture that it required. Since Job is describing what he used to say, it may be good to retain this image in your translation, but if it would be more natural in your language, you could express it as a comparison. Alternate translation: “I said that I was like a tree that was healthy and flourishing because it was getting all the moisture that it required through roots that reached down to ground water and through dew that formed at night on its branches”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

שָׁרְשִׁ֣⁠י פָת֣וּחַ & בִּ⁠קְצִירִֽ⁠י

roots,my spread_out & in/on/at/with,branches,my

Since Job was speaking of many roots and branches, it may be more natural in your language to use plural forms here. Alternate translation: “My roots are spread out … on my branches”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠טַ֗ל יָלִ֥ין בִּ⁠קְצִירִֽ⁠י

and,dew all_night in/on/at/with,branches,my

Job was speaking as if the dew had been a traveler that had found lodging for the night on a branch of the tree that he was using to represent himself. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and dew forms at night on my branches”
