UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יְהִ֣י כְ֭⁠רָשָׁע אֹ֣יְבִ֑⁠י וּ⁠מִתְקוֹמְמִ֥⁠י כְ⁠עַוָּֽל

let_it_be like,wicked enemy,my and,opponent,my like,unjust

In this culture, people would make clear that they did not want something to happen to them by saying they wanted it to happen to their enemies. That showed that it was the opposite of what they wanted for themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I do not want to be anything like the wicked or the unrighteous”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

כְ֭⁠רָשָׁע & כְ⁠עַוָּֽל

like,wicked & like,unjust

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

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠מִתְקוֹמְמִ֥⁠י כְ⁠עַוָּֽל

and,opponent,my like,unjust

Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and may the one rising up against me be like the unrighteous”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מִתְקוֹמְמִ֥⁠י

and,opponent,my

Job is speaking as if this person were literally rising up, that is, standing up from a seating or lying position, in order to attack him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the one opposing me”
