uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

עַל־כֵּן֙ תָּפ֣וּג תּוֹרָ֔ה וְ⁠לֹֽא־יֵצֵ֥א לָ⁠נֶ֖צַח מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Another approach would be to connect the phrases with a word that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. See how you as a team have decided to translate the parallel phrases in the Psalms, and follow that approach here and throughout this psalm. Alternate translation: [Therefore the law is powerless because no one upholds justice]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

עַל־כֵּן֙ תָּפ֣וּג תּוֹרָ֔ה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

Here, Therefore indicates that what follows is the result of the injustice Habakkuk has just described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different connecting word to express a result. Alternate translation: [As a result, the law weakens]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תָּפ֣וּג תּוֹרָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

Habakkuk is speaking of the law as if it were a person who could become physically weak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the law has no power]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יֵצֵ֥א לָ⁠נֶ֖צַח מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

and=not prevails to,perpetuity (Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

Habakkuk is speaking of justice as if it were a person who could go out and act. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and judges do not make fair decisions]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a fair decision]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָשָׁע֙

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

Habakkuk is using the adjective wicked as a noun to refer to a kind of person. If your language does not use adjectives as nouns, you could translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the wicked person]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אֶת־הַ⁠צַּדִּ֔יק

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so paralyzed law and=not prevails to,perpetuity justice that/for/because/then/when wicked surround DOM the_righteous,[person] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so goes_forth justice perverted )

Habakkuk is using the adjective righteous as a noun to refer to a kind of person. If your language does not use adjectives as nouns, you could translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the righteous person]
