OET interlinear JOB 8:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אִם־אַ֭תָּה תְּשַׁחֵ֣ר אֶל־אֵ֑ל

if (Some words not found in UHB: if you(ms) seek to/towards god and=near/to almighty make_supplication )

For emphasis, Bildad is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated seek diligently. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: [If you seek diligently for God yourself]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠אֶל־שַׁ֝דַּ֗י תִּתְחַנָּֽן

and=near/to (Some words not found in UHB: if you(ms) seek to/towards god and=near/to almighty make_supplication )

Bildad is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and if to the Almighty you appeal]
