Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְךָ֔ וְגַ֖ע בְּכָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֑וֹ אִם־לֹ֥א עַל־פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְבָרֲכֶֽךָּ
stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you
The terms stretch out and touch are imperatives, but they communicate an assertion rather than commands. Use a form in your language that communicates an assertion. Alternate translation: “if you stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, he will bless you to your face”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שְֽׁלַֽח& יָֽדְךָ֔
(Some words not found in UHB: and,but stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you )
Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “use your power”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְגַ֖ע
and,touch
In this context, the word touch means “destroy.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and destroy”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אִם
if
The adversary is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and see if”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
יְבָרֲכֶֽךָּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,but stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you )
See how you translated the word “blessed’ in verse 5. Scribes may have made a similar change here from “curse” to bless. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT. Alternate translation: “he will … curse you”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עַל־פָּנֶ֖יךָ
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: and,but stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you )
Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. The claim is that Job would not curse God in his “heart” (that is, in his thoughts) as Job was afraid one of his children might have done. Rather, Job would curse God out loud, and since God is present everywhere, Job would be cursing him in person. Alternate translation: “in person”
1:9-11 Job has good reason (Hebrew khinnam; see study note on 2:3) to fear God: The wisdom tradition links piety with prosperity. Satan went a step further by suggesting that Job’s piety was contingent upon his affluence.
OET (OET-LV) And_but stretch_out please hand_your and_touch in_all that to_him/it if not on face_your curse_you.
OET (OET-RV) However, just stretch out your hand and ruin everything he has, then we’ll see that he’ll curse you to your face.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
