Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְ⁠ךָ֔ וְ⁠גַ֖ע בְּ⁠כָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֑⁠וֹ אִם־לֹ֥א עַל־פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ יְבָרֲכֶֽ⁠ךָּ

stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you

The terms stretch out and touch are imperatives, but they communicate an assertion rather than commands. Use a form in your language that communicates an assertion. Alternate translation: “if you stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, he will bless you to your face”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שְֽׁלַֽח& יָֽדְ⁠ךָ֔

(Some words not found in UHB: and,but stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you )

Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “use your power”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠גַ֖ע

and,touch

In this context, the word touch means “destroy.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and destroy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אִם

The adversary 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 see if”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

יְבָרֲכֶֽ⁠ךָּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,but stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you )

See how you translated the word “blessed’ in verse 5. Scribes may have made a similar change here from “curse” to bless. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT. Alternate translation: “he will … curse you”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עַל־פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: and,but stretch_out now hand,your and,touch in=all which/who to=him/it if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face,your curse,you )

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. The claim is that Job would not curse God in his “heart” (that is, in his thoughts) as Job was afraid one of his children might have done. Rather, Job would curse God out loud, and since God is present everywhere, Job would be cursing him in person. Alternate translation: “in person”
