Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְעַבְדִּ֣י קָ֭רָאתִי וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה
to,servant,my call and=not answer
In this context, the word call implicitly means “summon” and the word answer implicitly means “obey.” You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I summon my servant, but he does not obey and come to me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לְעַבְדִּ֣י
to,servant,my
Job is not referring to a specific servant. He means all of his servants. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “to my servants”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּמוֹ־פִ֝֗י אֶתְחַנֶּן־לֽוֹ
with mouth,my plead to=him/it
Job is using the term mouth to mean by association what he has to say with his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have to speak pleadingly to him”
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.
