uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הָנְחַ֣לְתִּי לִ֭⁠י יַרְחֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

allotted to=me months futility

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. If you need to say who has done the action, the context suggests that it is God. Alternate translation: “God has caused me to inherit months of futility”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הָנְחַ֣לְתִּי לִ֭⁠י יַרְחֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

allotted to=me months futility

Job is speaking of these months of futility as if they were something that he had literally been caused to inherit. He means that he has been enduring futility during this time. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have been enduring a time of futility”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הָנְחַ֣לְתִּי לִ֭⁠י יַרְחֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

allotted to=me months futility

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of futility, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I have been enduring a time when life seems futile”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הָנְחַ֣לְתִּי לִ֭⁠י יַרְחֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

allotted to=me months futility

From the narrative of the book of Job, it does not appear that at this point months have gone by since Job began to experience his terrible misfortunes. So it seems that Job is using the term months to mean by association a period of time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have been enduring a time of futility”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠לֵיל֥וֹת עָ֝מָ֗ל מִנּוּ־לִֽ⁠י

and,nights misery apportioned to=me

The pronoun they is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. Job is using this indefinite construction to focus on what has been appointed to him rather than on who appointed it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with an equivalent expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “and nights of trouble have been appointed to me”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:3 Job’s trial might already have gone on for months.
• The Hebrew term (‘amal) that runs throughout Job is translated as “misery/miserable” (3:20; 11:16; 16:2; 20:22) or as “trouble” (3:10; 4:8; 5:6, 7; 15:35).
