TSNTyndale Study Notes:

39:13-18 In the ancient Near East, the ostrich had a reputation as a bird that God had deprived of wisdom.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בָּנֶ֣י⁠הָ

her/its=sons/descendants

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that would include both male and female young ostriches. Some languages may have a general term for the offspring of birds that would convey this sense. Other languages may use both the masculine and feminine forms of such a term. Alternate translation: “its chicks”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

לְ⁠רִ֖יק יְגִיעָ֣⁠הּ בְּלִי־פָֽחַד

in,vain labor,her no fear

Yahweh is speaking of an ostrich as if it could consciously feel fear that the labor it had expended to have offspring might be in vain, that is, the offspring might die, if it did not take better care of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it does not carefully protect their lives”
