UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

נָ֣א

now

Yahweh is using the word Then to indicate what Job should do if he has the kind of power that Yahweh described in the previous verse. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “If you do, then”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עֲדֵ֥ה & גָֽא֣וֹן וָ⁠גֹ֑בַהּ וְ⁠ה֖וֹד וְ⁠הָדָ֣ר תִּלְבָּֽשׁ

adorn & majesty and,dignity and,glory and,splendor clothe

Yahweh is speaking as if he wanted Job literally to adorn and clothe himself with the qualities that he names. He means that Job ought to make it apparent that he has these qualities if he wishes to judge the world as Yahweh would do. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “display your majesty and greatness; show your glory and splendor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

גָֽא֣וֹן וָ⁠גֹ֑בַהּ וְ⁠ה֖וֹד וְ⁠הָדָ֣ר

majesty and,dignity and,glory and,splendor

The terms majesty and greatness mean similar things, and the terms glory and splendor also mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “in great majesty, and … in bright splendor”
