Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מָ֭אַסְתִּי
loathe_~_life
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I loathe my life” or “I loathe being alive”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
לֹא־לְעֹלָ֣ם אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה
not to=vanishing_point live
Job is using the future tense to describe what he desires. Your language may have its own way of expressing such a meaning. Alternate translation: “I would not live forever” or “I do not want to live forever”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
לֹא־לְעֹלָ֣ם אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה
not to=vanishing_point live
Job says forever here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “I certainly do not want to live for a long time”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
חֲדַ֥ל מִ֝מֶּ֗נִּי
let_~_alone from,me
Job is using this expression to ask God to Cease from troubling him. Your language may have an expression of its own with the same meaning. Alternate translation: “Leave me alone”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הֶ֥בֶל
Heⱱel/(Abel)
Job could be using the word translated vapor to mean: (1) that his days are fleeting, since vapor or mist vanishes quickly. Alternate translation: “are fleeting” (2) that his days are purposeless, since vapor is insubstantial. Alternate translation: “are purposeless”
