Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְלָ֣מָּה מֵ֭רֶחֶם הֹצֵאתָ֑נִי
and=for=what? of,womb bring_~_out,me
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not have brought me out of the womb!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְלָ֣מָּה מֵ֭רֶחֶם הֹצֵאתָ֑נִי
and=for=what? of,womb bring_~_out,me
Job is speaking of God bringing him out from the womb by association to describe his birth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Why did you allow me to be born?” or “You should not have allowed me to be born!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
אֶ֝גְוַ֗ע
died
See how you translated the similar expression in 3:11. Alternate translation: “If only I had passed away”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְעַ֣יִן לֹא־תִרְאֵֽנִי
and,eye not seen,me
Job is using one part of a person, the eye, to mean all of a person in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and no one had ever seen me”
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ So why did you allow me to come out from the womb?
⇔ Better if I’d expired and no one had seen me.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
