כִּ֤י
that/for/because/then/when
Job is using the word For to introduce the reason why he said in the preceding verses that these various groups of people kept silent when he arrived at the city gate. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “They all kept silent because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֹ֣זֶן שָׁ֭מְעָה וַֽתְּאַשְּׁרֵ֑נִי
ear heard and,commended,me
Job is using one part of each of these community members, his ear, to mean all of him in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they heard me and they blessed me”
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
אֹ֣זֶן שָׁ֭מְעָה
ear heard
If you decide to retain the term ear in your translation to mean hearing, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of that word, since Job is speaking about many people. Alternate translation: “their ears heard”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַֽתְּאַשְּׁרֵ֑נִי
and,commended,me
Job means implicitly that the people blessed him for giving such wise, godly counsel. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and they blessed me for giving such wise, godly counsel”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְעַ֥יִן רָ֝אֲתָ֗ה וַתְּעִידֵֽנִי
and,eye saw and,approved,me
Job is using the term eye by association to mean sight. Sight, in turn, represents attention, perspective, and judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and when they perceived that the advice I had given was wise, they attested that I had said the right thing”
Note 6 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
וְעַ֥יִן רָ֝אֲתָ֗ה
and,eye saw
If you decide to retain the term ear in your translation to mean hearing, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of that word, since Job is speaking about many people. Alternate translation: “and their eyes saw”
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.
