Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
הַלַּ֣יְלָה הַ֭הוּא יְהִ֣י גַלְמ֑וּד
the=night (the)=that let_it_be barren
Job is speaking of the night he was conceived as if it were a living thing that could be barren. He means that he does not want that night to have any children, in the sense that he does not want any more children to be conceived on that night or, as the context suggests, born on that night. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “May no one ever again be born on that night”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
אַל־תָּבֹ֖א רְנָנָ֣ה בֽוֹ
not heard joyful_shout in=him/it
Job is speaking of a joyful shout as if it were a living thing that could come into a place. He is referring to people shouting for joy on the night of the day when he was born. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “May no one shout joyfully on that night”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אַל־תָּבֹ֖א רְנָנָ֣ה בֽוֹ
not heard joyful_shout in=him/it
Job means implicitly that he does not want anyone to shout joyfully on this particular night to celebrate the birth of a child. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “May no one shout joyfully on that night to celebrate the birth of a child”
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 Greek words that they’re translated from.
