OET (OET-LV)I_chose way_their and_sat chief and_lived as_king in/on/at/with_troops just_as mourners someone_comforts.

 ⇔ like when someone comforts those who’re mourning.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

אֶֽבֲחַ֣ר דַּרְכָּ⁠ם֮ וְ⁠אֵשֵׁ֪ב רֹ֥אשׁ

chose way,their and,sat head

Since Job chose the way for the people of his community because he was their chief, it might be more natural to reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “I sat as a chief and I chose their way”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶֽבֲחַ֣ר דַּרְכָּ⁠ם֮

chose way,their

Job is speaking of what he determined his community should do as if that were a way or path for the people to walk along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I guided them about the right things to do”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠אֵשֵׁ֪ב רֹ֥אשׁ

and,sat head

Job is describing how he held the position of a chief by association with the way he sat in a place reserved for such a leader. (He refers similarly to “my seat” in verse 7.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I was their chief”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ֭⁠אֶשְׁכּוֹן כְּ⁠מֶ֣לֶךְ בַּ⁠גְּד֑וּד

and,lived as,king in/on/at/with,troops

In this culture, kings would accompany their armies into the field as their commanders. The point of this comparison is probably that just as the authority of a king would be unquestioned within his army, so people did not question Job’s directions as their leader. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and everyone respected my authority”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲבֵלִ֣ים יְנַחֵֽם

just=as mourners comforts

Job makes this further comparison to specify that he led the community gently and in its own best interests. He did not exercise his authority in an arbitrary, despotic way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “but I was gentle and encouraging as a leader”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

29:25 In the past, Job had comforted those who mourned (4:3-4). This verse is a prophetic mandate closely associated with the work of the Messiah (Isa 40:1; 61:1-3; Luke 4:18-19; cp. 2 Cor 1:3-4).
