UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אִם־שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי

if lie_down

Job is referring implicitly to when he would lie down to sleep at night. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Your language may have its own expression that you could use here in your translation. Alternate translation: “When I lie down to sleep”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מָתַ֣י אָ֭קוּם

when(q) rise

Job is not asking himself this question for information, to try to decide when to get up in the morning. He is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I hope this will not be a long and difficult night!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠שָׂבַ֖עְתִּי נְדֻדִ֣ים

and,fill tossing

Job is speaking of himself as if he were a container that tossings filled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I toss and turn continually”
