OET interlinear JOB 8:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

זַ֥ךְ וְ⁠יָשָׁ֗ר

pure (Some words not found in UHB: if pure and,upright you(ms) that/for/because/then/when now rouse on,you and,he_will_restore place_of your_righteousness_of,your )

The terms pure and upright mean similar things. Bildad is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [truly righteous]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָעִ֣יר עָלֶ֑י⁠ךָ

rouse on,you

One possible meaning of the expression translated rouse himself is “wake up.” If there is already a Bible translation in your region, it may say something like this. Bildad could be speaking as if God were sleeping and would literally wake up at the realization that Job needed and deserved help. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he will come quickly to help you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

נְוַ֣ת צִדְקֶֽ⁠ךָ

place_of your_righteousness_of,your

Bildad is using one aspect of Job, his righteousness, to mean all of him as a righteous person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your habitation as a righteous person]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נְוַ֣ת צִדְקֶֽ⁠ךָ

place_of your_righteousness_of,your

Bildad is speaking of the situation that he believes Job would deserve as a righteous person as if that situation were literally a habitation or place where Job would live. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [restore you to the situation in life that a righteous person deserves]
