Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הַאִ֬ם אֵ֣ין עֶזְרָתִ֣י בִ֑י וְ֝תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה נִדְּחָ֥ה מִמֶּֽנִּי
,since not help,myself in/on/at/with,me and,success driven from,me
Job is using the word If to introduce questions that anticipate negative answers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “My help is not in me, is it, and initiative has been taken away from me, hasn’t it?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הַאִ֬ם אֵ֣ין עֶזְרָתִ֣י בִ֑י וְ֝תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה נִדְּחָ֥ה מִמֶּֽנִּי
,since not help,myself in/on/at/with,me and,success driven from,me
Job is 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. Alternate translation: “My help is not in me, and initiative has been taken away from me!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְ֝תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה נִדְּחָ֥ה מִמֶּֽנִּי
and,success driven from,me
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and my troubles have taken initiative away from me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וְ֝תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה
and,success
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of initiative, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and the capacity to act on my own behalf”
