UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

יֹ֭אכַל בַּדֵּ֣י עוֹר֑⁠וֹ יֹאכַ֥ל בַּ֝דָּ֗י⁠ו בְּכ֣וֹר מָֽוֶת

consumes parts skin,his consumes limbs,his firstborn death

The pronoun It refers to the firstborn of death later in the verse. If it would be clearer in your language, you could put the noun phrase in the first part of the verse and the pronoun in the second part of the verse. Alternate translation: “The firstborn of death devours parts of his skin; it devours his parts”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּכ֣וֹר מָֽוֶת

firstborn death

The expression the firstborn of death means the strongest kind of death or a terrible kind of death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a deadly disease”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בַּ֝דָּ֗י⁠ו

limbs,his

Since the pronoun his in this possessive form refers to the wicked person as a whole, it is likely that the word parts describes his arms and his legs. Alternate translation: “his arms and his legs”
