Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
יָסֵ֣ר מֵעָלַ֣י שִׁבְט֑וֹ וְ֝אֵמָת֗וֹ
remove from,on,me (Some words not found in UHB: remove from,on,me rod_of,his and,dread_of,his not let,it_terrify_me )
The pronoun who refers to a judge who might decide Job’s case against God, and the pronoun his refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [There is no judge who could turn God’s rod from upon me and God’s terror]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
שִׁבְט֑וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: remove from,on,me rod_of,his and,dread_of,his not let,it_terrify_me )
Job is speaking as if God were literally using a rod or stick to punish him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his punishment]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝אֵמָת֗וֹ אַֽל־תְּבַעֲתַֽנִּי
and,dread_of,his not (Some words not found in UHB: remove from,on,me rod_of,his and,dread_of,his not let,it_terrify_me )
Job 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 earlier in the sentence if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and turn his terror from upon me, so that it would not frighten me]
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
