Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
זַרְעָ֤ם נָכ֣וֹן
children,their established
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Their children grow up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם
in,presence,their
Here the word faces represents the presence of people by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: “in their presence” or “in their homes”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֵיהֶ֗ם לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם
and,offspring,their before,eyes,their
Job is using the term eyes by association to mean sight. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and their descendants in their sight” or “and their descendants where they can see them”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝צֶאֱצָאֵיהֶ֗ם לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם
and,offspring,their before,eyes,their
Job 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 their descendants grow up where they can see them”
21:8 In spite of assertions by Eliphaz (5:4), Bildad (18:19), and Zophar (20:10), Job noted that the wicked enjoy children and grandchildren, which should be the reward of the righteous (Prov 17:6) but was apparently not going to be his own reward (Job 1:18-19; but see 42:13-16).
OET (OET-LV) Children_their [is]_established in_presence_their with_them and_offspring_their before_eyes_their.
OET (OET-RV) Their children become established around them,
⇔ ≈and their offspring become settled in front of them.
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.
