Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula
אִם־לֹ֣א אָ֭מְרוּ מְתֵ֣י אָהֳלִ֑י מִֽי־יִתֵּ֥ן מִ֝בְּשָׂר֗וֹ לֹ֣א נִשְׂבָּֽע
if not said men tent,my who? he/it_gave with,meat,his not satisfied
As in 31:25 and 31:29, here Job does not state the second part of the condition in an oath that he is swearing. See what you did in those verses. Alternate translation: “If the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who will give one who has not been satisfied from his flesh?’ then judges would certainly punish such iniquity” or “If the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who will give one who has not been satisfied from his flesh?’ then I would certainly deserve punishment”

אִם־לֹ֣א אָ֭מְרוּ מְתֵ֣י אָהֳלִ֑י מִֽי־יִתֵּ֥ן מִ֝בְּשָׂר֗וֹ לֹ֣א נִשְׂבָּֽע
if not said men tent,my who? he/it_gave with,meat,his not satisfied
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “If the men of my tent have not asked who could show one who has not been satisfied from my flesh!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מְתֵ֣י אָהֳלִ֑י
men tent,my
Job is using the term tent by association to mean his household. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the men of my household”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
מְתֵ֣י אָהֳלִ֑י
men tent,my
Although Job refers to his male and female servants separately in 31:13, Job is likely using the masculine term men here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “the men and women of my household” or “my servants”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִֽי־יִתֵּ֥ן מִ֝בְּשָׂר֗וֹ לֹ֣א נִשְׂבָּֽע
who? he/it_gave with,meat,his not satisfied
Job’s servants would be using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. (In this context, unlike elsewhere in the book, the expression Who will give does not express a wish. The servants are not saying, “We wish there was one who has not been satisfied.”) Alternate translation: “No one can show anyone who has not been satisfied from his flesh!” or, positively, “Everyone has been satisfied from his flesh!”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לֹ֣א נִשְׂבָּֽע
not not satisfied
As the next verse shows, Job’s servants would be speaking implicitly of hungry people. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “a hungry person who has not been satisfied”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִ֝בְּשָׂר֗וֹ
with,meat,his
Job’s servants would be using the term flesh by association to mean meat and, by further association, food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from his food”
31:1-40 Job called down curses on himself if he were guilty of the accusations made against him. Except for his mention of idolatry (31:26-27), Job addressed his fidelity to God in terms of the second half of the Ten Commandments, summarized by the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev 19:18; Rom 13:9).
OET (OET-LV) If not they_have_said the_men tent_my who will_he_give with_meat_his not [one_who_is]_satisfied.
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.
