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 around,him and,around household,his and,around all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it on,every_side work hands,his blessed and,possessions,his 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 around,him and,around household,his and,around all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it on,every_side work hands,his blessed and,possessions,his 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׃
(Some words not found in UHB: ?,not you put_a_fence around,him and,around household,his and,around all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it on,every_side work hands,his blessed and,possessions,his 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
(Some words not found in UHB: ?,not you put_a_fence around,him and,around household,his and,around all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it on,every_side work hands,his blessed and,possessions,his increased on_the=earth )
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,possessions,his (Some words not found in UHB: ?,not you put_a_fence around,him and,around household,his and,around all/each/any/every which/who to=him/it on,every_side work hands,his blessed and,possessions,his 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”
