Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
פָּתַ֤ח אִיּוֹב֙ אֶת־פִּ֔יהוּ
opened ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) DOM mouth,his
The author is referring to Job speaking by association with the way Job opened his mouth in order to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Job spoke up”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיְקַלֵּ֖ל אֶת־יוֹמֽוֹ
and,cursed DOM day,his
In this context, the expression his day means the day on which Job was born. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and cursed his birthday”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיְקַלֵּ֖ל אֶת־יוֹמֽוֹ
and,cursed DOM day,his
The implication is that Job cursed his birthday because he was suffering so greatly that he wished he had never been born. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and cursed his birthday because he was suffering so greatly that he wished he had never been born”
3:1-26 Job’s outburst did not mean that his integrity had cracked under the strain (42:7-8; Jas 5:11). Elijah and Jeremiah, both godly men, used the same hyperbolic language (1 Kgs 19:4; Jer 20:14-18).
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
