uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹא־מְעַ֣ט יָמַ֣⁠י

?,not few days_of,[are]_my

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: [My days are so few!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וַחֲדָ֑ל וְשִׁ֥ית מִ֝מֶּ֗⁠נִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,not few days_of,[are]_my יחדל ישית from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful a_little )

The expressions cease and put from me mean similar things. Job is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [So stop me making me suffer]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְשִׁ֥ית מִ֝מֶּ֗⁠נִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,not few days_of,[are]_my יחדל ישית from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful a_little )

Interpreters are not certain what this phrase means. It is possible that Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and put these sufferings away from me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אַבְלִ֥יגָה מְּעָֽט

so,that_I_may_be_cheerful (Some words not found in UHB: ?,not few days_of,[are]_my יחדל ישית from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful a_little )

Job is not asking God to let him smile a little; rather, Job is saying what he would do if God stopped making him suffer. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and then I would be able to smile a little]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠אַבְלִ֥יגָה מְּעָֽט

so,that_I_may_be_cheerful (Some words not found in UHB: ?,not few days_of,[are]_my יחדל ישית from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful a_little )

Job is using the term smile to mean being happy or comforted, by association with the way that people who are happy or comforted smile. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and let me experience a little comfort]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אַבְלִ֥יגָה מְּעָֽט

so,that_I_may_be_cheerful (Some words not found in UHB: ?,not few days_of,[are]_my יחדל ישית from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful a_little )

In this verse, the term little translates the same word that the term few translates. Your language may allow you to show this in your translation. Alternate translation: [and let me smile for a few moments]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
