UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

שְׁעֵ֣ה מֵ⁠עָלָ֣י⁠ו וְ⁠יֶחְדָּ֑ל

look_away away,from,him and,desist

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “so that he may desist, look away from him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠יֶחְדָּ֑ל

and,desist

In the context of this speech by Job, the word desist implicitly means to stop being continually concerned that God is watching and will judge and punish the slightest infraction. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “that he may live without continually fearing your punishment”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

עַד־יִ֝רְצֶ֗ה כְּ⁠שָׂכִ֥יר יוֹמֽ⁠וֹ

until enjoy like,hired_man day,his

The point of this comparison is that a hireling, that is, someone hired by the day for manual labor, has difficult work, but he knows that it is only for a short time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “until he finishes living his difficult but short life”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִ֝רְצֶ֗ה & יוֹמֽ⁠וֹ

enjoy & day,his

Job is speaking of a human being’s brief life as if it were literally only a day. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he lives out his brief life”
