Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אָ֭דָם יְל֣וּד אִשָּׁ֑ה קְצַ֥ר יָ֝מִ֗ים וּֽשְׂבַֽע־רֹֽגֶז
humankind born woman/wife few days and,full trouble
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. However, Job is being deliberately terse in order to describe the human condition as pitiful, so you may wish to translate this statement with fewer words than your language would ordinarly use. Alternate translation: “Man, who is born of woman, is few of days and full of trouble”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אָ֭דָם יְל֣וּד אִשָּׁ֑ה
humankind born woman/wife
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: “Every child of a human mother”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אָ֭דָם יְל֣וּד אִשָּׁ֑ה
humankind born woman/wife
Job is using the phrase born of woman by association to mean that people are mortal. In other words, just as they are naturally born, they will naturally die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Mortal man”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אָ֭דָם יְל֣וּד אִשָּׁ֑ה
humankind born woman/wife
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here and throughout the chapter the masculine term “man” has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, in all such instances you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “Mortal humans”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
קְצַ֥ר יָ֝מִ֗ים וּֽשְׂבַֽע־רֹֽגֶז
few days and,full trouble
Job does not mean that in general people live for only a few days. He is using the term days to mean time in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “His life is short and it is full of trouble”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּֽשְׂבַֽע־רֹֽגֶז
and,full trouble
Job is speaking of Man as if he were a container that trouble fills. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and continually troubled”
