UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠יֵשׁ־ בִּ⁠לְשׁוֹנִ֥⁠י עַוְלָ֑ה אִם־ חִ֝כִּ֗⁠י לֹא־ יָבִ֥ין הַוּֽוֹת

?,is_there in/on/at/with,tongue,my injustice if palate,my not discern calamity

Job is using the question form for emphasis in both of these sentences. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these sentences as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “There is no injustice on my tongue! My mouth discerns iniquity!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הֲ⁠יֵשׁ־בִּ⁠לְשׁוֹנִ֥⁠י עַוְלָ֑ה

?,is_there in/on/at/with,tongue,my injustice

Job is referring to what he says by association with the tongue, by which he says it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Is there injustice in what I have been saying”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִם־חִ֝כִּ֗⁠י לֹא־יָבִ֥ין הַוּֽוֹת

if palate,my not discern calamity

Job is using the word If to introduce a question that anticipates a contrary answer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “My mouth discerns iniquity, does it not”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אִם־חִ֝כִּ֗⁠י לֹא־יָבִ֥ין הַוּֽוֹת

if palate,my not discern calamity

Job is speaking of his mouth as if it were a living thing that could discern iniquity. He means that he himself is able to discern whether something he might say with his mouth would be morally wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I discern whether I might be speaking iniquity, do I not?” or “Certainly I can discern whether I might be speaking iniquity!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הַוּֽוֹת

calamity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of iniquity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is iniquitous” or “what is morally wrong”
