UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֤י

that/for/because/then/when

Job is using the word For to introduce the reason why he said in the preceding verses that these various groups of people kept silent when he arrived at the city gate. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “They all kept silent because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אֹ֣זֶן שָׁ֭מְעָה וַֽ⁠תְּאַשְּׁרֵ֑⁠נִי

ear heard and,commended,me

Job is using one part of each of these community members, his ear, to mean all of him in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they heard me and they blessed me”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אֹ֣זֶן שָׁ֭מְעָה

ear heard

If you decide to retain the term ear in your translation to mean hearing, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of that word, since Job is speaking about many people. Alternate translation: “their ears heard”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַֽ⁠תְּאַשְּׁרֵ֑⁠נִי

and,commended,me

Job means implicitly that the people blessed him for giving such wise, godly counsel. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and they blessed me for giving such wise, godly counsel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠עַ֥יִן רָ֝אֲתָ֗ה וַ⁠תְּעִידֵֽ⁠נִי

and,eye saw and,approved,me

Job is using the term eye by association to mean sight. Sight, in turn, represents attention, perspective, and judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and when they perceived that the advice I had given was wise, they attested that I had said the right thing”
