Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְךָ֔ וְגַ֥ע אֶל־עַצְמ֖וֹ וְאֶל־בְּשָׂר֑וֹ אִם־לֹ֥א אֶל־פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְבָרֲכֶֽךָּ
stretch_out now hand,your and,touch to/towards bones,his and=near/to flesh,his if not to/towards face,your curse,you
The terms stretch out and touch are imperatives, but they communicate an assertion rather than commands. Use a form in your language that communicates an assertion. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “if you stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, he will bless you to your face”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְךָ֔
stretch_out now hand,your
Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “just use your power”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְגַ֥ע
and,touch
In this context, the word touch means “harm.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and harm”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֶל־עַצְמ֖וֹ וְאֶל־בְּשָׂר֑וֹ
to/towards bones,his and=near/to flesh,his
The adversary is using two parts of Job’s body, his bones and his flesh, to mean Job’s whole body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “his body”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אִם
if
The adversary 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. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “and see if”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
יְבָרֲכֶֽךָּ
curse,you
See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Scribes may also have made a change here from “curse” to bless. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT. Alternate translation: “he will … curse you”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶל־פָּנֶ֖יךָ
to/towards to/towards face,your
Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “in person”
2:5 take away his health (literally strike his flesh and bones): Bones were thought to be the seat of health.
OET (OET-LV) But stretch_out please hand_your and_touch (to) bones_his and_near/to flesh_his if not to face_your curse_you.
OET (OET-RV) However, just reach out and touch his flesh and bones, and see if he doesn’t curse you to your face.”
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.
