UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַדּ֗וּעַ מִ֭⁠שַּׁדַּי לֹא־נִצְפְּנ֣וּ עִתִּ֑ים וְ֝יֹדְעָ֗יו & לֹא־חָ֥זוּ יָמָֽי⁠ו

why by,Almighty not kept times (Some words not found in UHB: why by,Almighty not kept times and,know,him not see his/its=days )

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 these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “Times should be set by the Almighty! The ones knowing him ought to see his days!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מַדּ֗וּעַ מִ֭⁠שַּׁדַּי לֹא־נִצְפְּנ֣וּ עִתִּ֑ים

why by,Almighty not kept times

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Why does the Almighty not set times” or, as an exclamation, “The Almighty should set times!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עִתִּ֑ים

times

Job implicitly means times for judgment. (See the discussion in the General Notes to chapter 23 of how judges in Israel would come to specific places at appointed times.) You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “times for judgment”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ֝יֹדְעָ֗יו לֹא־חָ֥זוּ יָמָֽי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: why by,Almighty not kept times and,know,him not see his/its=days )

In this context, to see means to experience. See how you translated the similar expression in 7:7. Alternate translation: “And why do the ones knowing him not experience his days?”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָמָֽי⁠ו

his/its=days

Job implicitly means days on which God would judge wicked people. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “days on which God judges wicked people”
