OET (OET-LV) Far_be_it to/for_me if I_will_declare_right DOM_you_all until I_will_expire not I_will_put_aside integrity_my from_me.
OET (OET-RV) I’ll never say that you all are correct—
⇔ I won’t set aside my integrity before I die.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
חָלִ֣ילָה לִּי֮ אִם־אַצְדִּ֪יק אֶ֫תְכֶ֥ם
far_be_it, to/for=me if right DOM,you_all
Job is using this expression to mean that he would no more justify his friends (that is, agree that they are right) than he would commit a Sacrilege, that is, do something that he knew would be offensive to God in a religious sense. Your language may have an expression with a similar sense that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “God forbid that I justify you” or “Far be it from me to justify you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
אֶ֫תְכֶ֥ם
DOM,you_all
The word you is plural here because Job is addressing his three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
אֶגְוָ֑ע
die
See how you translated the term expire in 3:11. Alternate translation: “I pass away”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לֹא־אָסִ֖יר תֻּמָּתִ֣י מִמֶּֽנִּי
not put_away integrity,my from,me
Job is speaking as if his integrity, meaning in this case his conviction that he has been acting properly, were a person whom he could turn away and make go somewhere else. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will keep insisting that I have been acting properly”
27:5-6 Job considered it profane and reprehensible to concede that his friends were right. Condemning the innocent, as they were doing to him, was an abomination (Exod 23:7; Prov 6:16-19; 17:15).
OET (OET-LV) Far_be_it to/for_me if I_will_declare_right DOM_you_all until I_will_expire not I_will_put_aside integrity_my from_me.
OET (OET-RV) I’ll never say that you all are correct—
⇔ I won’t set aside my integrity before I die.
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.
