Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
שָׁ֭מוֹעַ & תַּנְח֥וּמֹֽתֵיכֶֽם
to_listen & consolation,your_all's
The word your and the implied “you” in the imperative hear are plural because Job is addressing his three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
שִׁמְע֣וּ שָׁ֭מוֹעַ מִלָּתִ֑י
listen! to_listen words,my
Job is repeating the verb hear in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “Listen carefully to my words”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִלָּתִ֑י
words,my
Job is using the term words to mean what he is about to say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I am about to say”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
תַּנְח֥וּמֹֽתֵיכֶֽם
consolation,your_all's
Job is using this possessive form to describe not the consolation that his friends will have but the consolation that he wants them to offer him. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the consolation that you offer to me”
21:2 Job’s friends insisted that they were delivering God’s own message of comfort (15:11), but Job found no comfort in their words (16:2), so he asked for the consolation of their attentive silence (see 13:5).
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.
