brother become of,jackals and,companion of,daughters_of owl

Job is speaking as if he had literally become a brother to jackals and a companion to ostriches. These wild dogs and wild birds live in deserted areas, and Job is suggesting that they are now his only relatives and friends, since he has become an outcast. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have become such an outcast that it is as if I live far away from other people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לִ⁠בְנ֥וֹת יַעֲנָֽה

of,daughters_of owl

In this context, the expression daughters of describes creatures that share the qualities of something. The word clamor is one possible meaning of an uncertain term that interpreters suggest could also mean “greed” or “the desert.” Whatever the meaning of that term, interpreters agree that the reference is to ostriches. If your language can refer to this kind of bird with a descriptive phrase rather than with a name, you could use that phrase in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “to ostriches”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

לִ⁠בְנ֥וֹת יַעֲנָֽה

of,daughters_of owl

An ostrich is a large, heavy bird that cannot fly but can run very fast. If your readers would not be familiar with ostriches, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “to large, flightless, desert birds”
