UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֲ⁠יֵשׁ־לַ⁠מָּטָ֥ר אָ֑ב א֥וֹ מִי־ה֝וֹלִ֗יד אֶגְלֵי־טָֽל

?,is_there for_the,rain father or who? he/it_fathered drops dew

Yahweh is speaking as if the rain and the dew had an actual father. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “How does rain form? And how does dew form?”
