OET interlinear JOB 16:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ל֤וּ־יֵ֪שׁ נַפְשְׁ⁠כֶ֡ם תַּ֤חַת נַפְשִׁ֗⁠י

if were (Some words not found in UHB: also/yet I like,you(pl) talk if were self_of,your(pl) below/instead_of self_of,my join_~_together on,you(pl) (in),words and,I_will_shake on,you(pl) with my=head )

Job is using one part of himself and his friends, their souls, to mean all of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [if you were in my place]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

כָּ⁠כֶ֪ם & נַפְשְׁ⁠כֶ֡ם & עֲלֵי⁠כֶ֣ם & עֲ֝לֵי⁠כֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet I like,you(pl) talk if were self_of,your(pl) below/instead_of self_of,my join_~_together on,you(pl) (in),words and,I_will_shake on,you(pl) with my=head )

The word you is plural in each of these instances because Job is using it to refer to his three friends. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אַחְבִּ֣ירָה & בְּ⁠מִלִּ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet I like,you(pl) talk if were self_of,your(pl) below/instead_of self_of,my join_~_together on,you(pl) (in),words and,I_will_shake on,you(pl) with my=head )

Job is using the term words to mean the things that he would say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I would say one thing after another]

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

וְ⁠אָנִ֥יעָה עֲ֝לֵי⁠כֶ֗ם בְּמ֣וֹ רֹאשִֽׁ⁠י

and,I_will_shake on,you(pl) (Some words not found in UHB: also/yet I like,you(pl) talk if were self_of,your(pl) below/instead_of self_of,my join_~_together on,you(pl) (in),words and,I_will_shake on,you(pl) with my=head )

To shake the head at someone is a symbolic action indicating disapproval. This action may have the same meaning in your culture. If not, your culture may have a comparable gesture that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: [and I would point my finger at you]
