UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יַטּ֣וּ אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים מִ⁠דָּ֑רֶךְ

thrust needy off,road

This could mean: (1) that needy people avoid walking on the main road or way in order to avoid wicked people who would exploit them. In that sense, it is as if the wicked people are actively forcing the needy people off the road. Alternate translation: “Needy people stay off the main roads in order to avoid wicked people” (2) that wicked people push needy people aside on the road so that they can go ahead of them. Alternate translation: “Wicked people push needy people aside on the road so that they can go ahead of them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים & עֲנִיֵּי

needy & poor

Job is using the adjectives needy and poor as nouns to mean certain groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “needy people … the poor people of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יַ֥חַד חֻ֝בְּא֗וּ עֲנִיֵּי־אָֽרֶץ

all hide poor land

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. Wicked people are the implied agent. Job is not saying simply that poor people hide themselves to avoid the wicked; he is saying that wicked people force poor people to hide themselves to escape oppression. Alternate translation: “all the poor people of the land have to hide in order to avoid the wicked people who would oppress them”
