that/for/because/then/when what? hope godless that/for/because/then/when cut_off that/for/because/then/when takes_away god life,his
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: “For the godless has no hope when he cuts him off, when God takes away his life.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
כִּ֤י מַה־תִּקְוַ֣ת חָ֭נֵף
that/for/because/then/when what? hope godless
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “For what does the godless hope for” or, as a statement, “For the godless has nothing to hope for”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
חָ֭נֵף
godless
Job is using the adjective godless as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “a godless person”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
כִּ֣י יִבְצָ֑ע כִּ֤י יֵ֖שֶׁל אֱל֣וֹהַּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ
that/for/because/then/when cut_off that/for/because/then/when takes_away god life,his
As the context makes clear, the pronoun he refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers by naming God in the first part of the verse and using a pronoun in the second part of the verse. Alternate translation: “when God cuts him off, when he takes away his life”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יִבְצָ֑ע
cut_off
See how you translated the similar expression in 6:9. Alternate translation: “he kills him” or “God kills him”
