UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יְחֻנֶּ֗⁠נּוּ

and,gracious,him

The pronoun he refers to God and the pronoun him refers to the person whom Elihu has been describing. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “and God is gracious to that person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר פְּ֭דָעֵ⁠הוּ מֵ⁠רֶ֥דֶת שָׁ֗חַת מָצָ֥אתִי כֹֽפֶר

and=he/it_said deliver,him from,going_down pit found ransom

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “and tells the angels of death to spare him from going down to the pit because he has found a ransom”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מָצָ֥אתִי כֹֽפֶר

found ransom

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of ransom, you could express the same idea in another way. See the discussion of this idea in the General Notes to this chapter. Alternate translation: “I have found a good reason to spare him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מָצָ֥אתִי כֹֽפֶר

found ransom

The word found does not mean that God did not know where this ransom was and had to look for it and finally found it. Rather, it means that when the suffering person repented, this was a consideration that helped provide grounds for sparing him. (See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter.) You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I have recognized a good reason to spare him”
