OET interlinear JOB 5:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׁל֣וֹם אָהֳלֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_know that/for/because/then/when secure tent_of,your and,you_will_visit estate_of,your and=not missing )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [your tent is safe]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אָהֳלֶ֑⁠ךָ

tent_of,your

Eliphaz is referring to Job’s home (that is, his family and their possessions) by association with the tent in which they live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your home]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹ֣א תֶחֱטָֽא

and=not missing

Eliphaz means implicitly that when Job goes to inspect his sheepfold, he will not find that any of his sheep are missing (because, for example, wild animals killed them or someone stole them). You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and you will not find that any of the sheep are missing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וְ⁠לֹ֣א תֶחֱטָֽא

and=not missing

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 verb miss. Alternate translation: [and you will find that all of your sheep are there]
