UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עִ֭מּ⁠וֹ עֹ֣ז וְ⁠תֽוּשִׁיָּ֑ה

with=him/it strength and,sound_wisdom

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of strength and prudence, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “God is strong and prudent”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שֹׁגֵ֥ג וּ⁠מַשְׁגֶּֽה

deceived and,deceiver

Job is speaking of people who are not living in the right way as if they were straying or going off the path that they should be walking on. He is speaking of people who persuade others to do wrong things as if they were causing them to stray. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “those who do not live right and those who persuade others not to live right”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ל֝֗⁠וֹ שֹׁגֵ֥ג וּ⁠מַשְׁגֶּֽה

to=him/it deceived and,deceiver

The implication is that if someone is straying or doing wrong, that person cannot excuse his actions by saying that someone else persuaded him to do them. The person who chose to do wrong is accountable to God, and anyone who persuaded him to do those wrong is also accountable to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “those who do wrong and those who persuade them to do wrong are both accountable to God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ל֝֗⁠וֹ שֹׁגֵ֥ג וּ⁠מַשְׁגֶּֽה

to=him/it deceived and,deceiver

Job is using two complementary types of people to mean all people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “everyone is accountable to God for what they do and for what they persuade others to do”
