OET interlinear JOB 13:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שִׁמְע֣וּ שָׁ֭מוֹעַ

(Some words not found in UHB: listen! to_listen speech_of,my and,declaration_of,my [be]_in,ears_of,your(pl) )

Job is repeating the verb hear in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [Make sure that you hear]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ֝⁠אַֽחֲוָתִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: listen! to_listen speech_of,my and,declaration_of,my [be]_in,ears_of,your(pl) )

Job is using the term word to mean what he is about to say to God in his own defense by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and may what I am about to say be]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ֝⁠אַֽחֲוָתִ֗⁠י בְּ⁠אָזְנֵי⁠כֶֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: listen! to_listen speech_of,my and,declaration_of,my [be]_in,ears_of,your(pl) )

Job is using the term ears by association to mean hearing or listening. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, as a new sentence: [Yes, listen carefully to my declaration]
