Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
וַיְהִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וַיָּבֹ֨אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים
and=he/it_was the=day and=they_came sons_of the=ʼₑlhīmv
The author is using the phrase And it was the day to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: “One day the sons of God came”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים
sons_of the=ʼₑlhīmv
This expression describes spiritual beings whom God created. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the angelic beings”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהוָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was the=day and=they_came sons_of the=ʼₑlhīmv to,present on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH and,came also the,satan in/on/at/with,midst,them )
The context suggests that these angelic beings came to Yahweh at regular times to report on their activities. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to give Yahweh a regular report on their activities”

הַשָּׂטָ֖ן
the,satan
See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter for how to translate the title the adversary here and in the rest of this chapter and in chapter 2. Alternate translation, as in UST: “Satan”
1:1–2:13 God and Satan agree to a test that would bring about Job’s troubles and confirm his integrity (1:20-21; 2:10). None of the book’s characters ever learn of this heavenly council.

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.
