UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠זֶ֗ה

and=this

See how you translated the expression “This one” in 21:23. Alternate translation: “But another person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠נֶ֣פֶשׁ מָרָ֑ה

in/on/at/with,soul bitter

Like the word “bone” in verse 21, in this expression, the word soul indicates the essence of something. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “in the depths of bitterness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠נֶ֣פֶשׁ מָרָ֑ה

in/on/at/with,soul bitter

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of bitterness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when his life is very bitter”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לֹֽא־אָ֝כַ֗ל בַּ⁠טּוֹבָֽה

and=not tasted in/on/at/with,prosperity

Job is talking about more than food here, and so when he speaks as if a person could literally have eaten things that are good (although in this case the person did not), he means experiencing those things. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he has not experienced the good”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

וְ⁠לֹֽא־אָ֝כַ֗ל בַּ⁠טּוֹבָֽה

and=not tasted in/on/at/with,prosperity

Job is using the adjective good as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “and he has not experienced good things” or “and he has not enjoyed good things”
