Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
בַּ֭חוּץ לֹא־יָלִ֣ין גֵּ֑ר
in/on/at/with,street not lodged stranger
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative phrase stayed overnight in the outdoors. Alternate translation: “I have allowed the sojourner to stay in my home”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לֹא־יָלִ֣ין גֵּ֑ר & לָאֹ֥רַח
not lodged stranger & to_the,traveler
Job is not referring to a specific sojourner or to a specific traveler. He means sojourners and travelers in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “Sojourners have not stayed overnight … to travelers”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
דְּ֝לָתַ֗י לָאֹ֥רַח אֶפְתָּֽח
door,my to_the,traveler opened
Job is using one thing he would do to provide hospitality, open his doors, to mean the entire act of providing hospitality. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have provided hospitality to travelers”
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).
