Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְה֣וּא בְ֭אֶחָד
and=he in/on/at/with,alone
Job is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. The context suggests that Job means that God is of one opinion, that is, he has decided one thing definitively. If it would be clearer in your language, you can supply the missing word. Your language may have a natural expression that would suit this context. Alternate translation: “But he is of one mind”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּמִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ
and,who dissuade,him
Job is speaking as if someone might physically turn God back from going in one direction and make God go in a different direction. He is speaking of someone making God change his mind. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and who will make him change his mind”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ
and,who dissuade,him
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “and no one will turn him back” or “and no one can make him change his mind”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹ אִוְּתָ֣ה וַיָּֽעַשׂ
and,soul,his desires and,does
Job is using one part of God, his soul, to mean all of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “For he desires to do something, and he does it” or “For he does whatever he desires”
