OET interlinear JOB 1:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹֽא־אַ֠תָּה שַׂ֣כְתָּ בַעֲד֧⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְעַד־בֵּית֛⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְעַ֥ד כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֖⁠וֹ מִ⁠סָּבִ֑יב

?,not (Some words not found in UHB: ?,not you put_a_fence behind,him and,behind house_of,his and,behind all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it from,round_about work_of his_hands_of,of blessed and,his_of,livestock increased on_the=earth )

The adversary is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You have put a hedge around him and around his house and around all that is his, from every side!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֲ⁠לֹֽא־אַ֠תָּה שַׂ֣כְתָּ בַעֲד֧⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְעַד־בֵּית֛⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְעַ֥ד כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֖⁠וֹ מִ⁠סָּבִ֑יב

?,not (Some words not found in UHB: ?,not you put_a_fence behind,him and,behind house_of,his and,behind all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it from,round_about work_of his_hands_of,of blessed and,his_of,livestock increased on_the=earth )

The adversary is speaking as if God had literally put a hedge around Job and his possessions. He means that God has protected Job and all that he owns. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Have you not protected him and his house and all that is his, from every side?] or [You have protected him and his house and all that is his, from every side!]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה יָדָי⁠ו֙ בֵּרַ֔כְתָּ וּ⁠מִקְנֵ֖⁠הוּ פָּרַ֥ץ בָּ⁠אָֽרֶץ

work_of his_hands_of,of blessed and,his_of,livestock increased on_the=earth

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [His cattle have burst forth in the land because you have blessed the works of his hands]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה יָדָי⁠ו֙

work_of his_hands_of,of

The adversary is using one part of Job, his hands, to mean all of Job in the act of doing works, specifically the activity of raising cattle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [everything he has done]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מִקְנֵ֖⁠הוּ פָּרַ֥ץ בָּ⁠אָֽרֶץ

and,his_of,livestock increased on_the=earth

The adversary is speaking as if Job’s cattle have literally burst forth and covered the land as if they were floodwaters. He means that Job’s cattle have increased greatly in number. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and his herds of cattle have become very large]
