UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

צֶ֣דֶק לָ֭בַשְׁתִּי וַ⁠יִּלְבָּשֵׁ֑⁠נִי

righteousness put_on and,clothed,me

Job is repeating the verb clothed in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “I wrapped righteousness all around me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

צֶ֣דֶק לָ֭בַשְׁתִּי וַ⁠יִּלְבָּשֵׁ֑⁠נִי

righteousness put_on and,clothed,me

Job is speaking as if he literally clothed himself with righteousness during the time that he is describing. In this context, the image of clothing represents the character of a person. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I was very careful to practice righteousness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

צֶ֣דֶק לָ֭בַשְׁתִּי וַ⁠יִּלְבָּשֵׁ֑⁠נִי

righteousness put_on and,clothed,me

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I was very careful to be righteous in my dealings with people”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כִּֽ⁠מְעִ֥יל וְ֝⁠צָנִ֗יף מִשְׁפָּטִֽ⁠י

like,robe and,turban justice,my

In this comparison, clothing once again represents the character of a person. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I was also careful to make sure that people received justice”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מִשְׁפָּטִֽ⁠י

justice,my

Job is using this possessive form to describe not justice that he received but just decisions that he helped the city leaders make. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the just decisions that I helped the city leaders make were”
