uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

א֤וֹ שִׂ֣יחַ לָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ וְ⁠תֹרֶ֑⁠ךָּ וִֽ⁠יסַפְּר֥וּ לְ֝⁠ךָ֗ דְּגֵ֣י הַ⁠יָּֽם

or bush/shrub_of to_the,earth and,teach,you and,declare to/for=yourself(m) fish the=sea

Job is using an imperative sentence to tell the condition under which something would happen. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this as a conditional sentence. Alternate translation: “Or if you spoke to the earth, then it would teach you; the fish of the sea would recount to you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

א֤וֹ שִׂ֣יחַ לָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ וְ⁠תֹרֶ֑⁠ךָּ וִֽ⁠יסַפְּר֥וּ לְ֝⁠ךָ֗ דְּגֵ֣י הַ⁠יָּֽם

or bush/shrub_of to_the,earth and,teach,you and,declare to/for=yourself(m) fish the=sea

Job is continuing to speak as if Zophar could literally have a conversation with the earth and with fish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “If you could actually speak to the earth, it would teach you. If you could have a conversation with the fish of the sea, they would recount to you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠תֹרֶ֑⁠ךָּ וִֽ⁠יסַפְּר֥וּ לְ֝⁠ךָ֗ דְּגֵ֣י הַ⁠יָּֽם

and,teach,you and,declare to/for=yourself(m) fish the=sea

Once again Job means implicitly that the earth and the fish would teach and recount God’s ways. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and it will teach you God’s ways; the fish of the sea will recount God’s ways to you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וִֽ⁠יסַפְּר֥וּ לְ֝⁠ךָ֗ דְּגֵ֣י הַ⁠יָּֽם

and,declare to/for=yourself(m) fish the=sea

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: “or ask the fish of the sea, and they will recount to you”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:7-9 A switch from you (plural in 12:2-3) to you (singular here) probably indicates that Job is directing his comments to Zophar.

OET (OET-LV)Or complain to_the_earth and_teach_you and_declare to/for_yourself(m) the_fish(es) the_sea.

OET (OET-RV)Or complain to the ground and it’ll teach you,
 ⇔ and the fish in the sea will declare it to you.

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.
