UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

יַ֭חַד עַל־עָפָ֣ר יִשְׁכָּ֑בוּ

alike on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dust lie_down

Job is using the phrase lie down … in the dust to mean “die.” This is a poetic way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “They both die and are buried”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ֝⁠רִמָּ֗ה תְּכַסֶּ֥ה עֲלֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,worms cover over,them

Job is not referring to a specific worm. He means worms in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “and worms cover them both”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠רִמָּ֗ה תְּכַסֶּ֥ה עֲלֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,worms cover over,them

The implication of worms covering the bodies of these dead people is that the worms are eating their bodies. For clarity, you could indicate that in your. Alternate translation: “and worms eat their bodies”
