OET interlinear JOB 19:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַ֤חַד ׀ יָ֘בֹ֤אוּ גְדוּדָ֗י⁠ו וַ⁠יָּסֹ֣לּוּ עָלַ֣⁠י דַּרְכָּ֑⁠ם וַ⁠יַּחֲנ֖וּ סָבִ֣יב לְ⁠אָהֳלִֽ⁠י

together they_went troops_of,his (Some words not found in UHB: together they_went troops_of,his and,they_have_cast_up on,me way_of,their and,they_have_encamped around (to),tent_of,my )

Job is speaking as if he were literally a city and God had sent troops to lay siege to that city, building ramps by which they could get over its walls. Job is likely speaking of the troubles he is experiencing as if they were soldiers whom God had sent to attack him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God has made me experience many kinds of troubles, and they are causing me more and more distress]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יַּחֲנ֖וּ סָבִ֣יב לְ⁠אָהֳלִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: together they_went troops_of,his and,they_have_cast_up on,me way_of,their and,they_have_encamped around (to),tent_of,my )

Job continues the military image but changes it slightly when he speaks as if he were literally a tent around which an enemy army had encamped. Job may be picturing himself as one of a number of soldiers who are all staying in tents but whose camp an enemy army has surrounded. Or Job may be using the word tent simply to mean the place where he lives, that is, his life. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [yes, I am experiencing troubles in many different aspects of my life]
