UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָשֹׁ֤ר ׀ עַל־אֲנָשִׁ֗ים

look on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in men

Elihu assumes that Job will understand that by sing, he means that the person will go to a temple and publicly sing a song of thanksgiving to celebrate how God has delivered him, as was the custom in this culture. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “He will sing a song of thanksgiving in a temple”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר חָ֭טָאתִי וְ⁠יָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי וְ⁠לֹא־שָׁ֥וָה לִֽ⁠י

and=he/it_said sinned and,right perverted and=not paid_back to=me

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 say that he sinned and turned aside uprightness but that God did not requite to him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠יָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי

and,right perverted

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of uprightness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and I turned aside what was right”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠יָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי

and,right perverted

Elihu is speaking of uprightness as if it were a living thing that had been walking down the right path and he turned it aside so that it began going down the wrong path. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I did what was not right”
