uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַ⁠אִ֬ם אֵ֣ין עֶזְרָתִ֣⁠י בִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה נִדְּחָ֥ה מִמֶּֽ⁠נִּי

?,if not help_of,[is]_my in,myself (Some words not found in UHB: ?,if not help_of,[is]_my in,myself and,success driven from,me )

Job is using the word If to introduce questions that anticipate negative answers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: [My help is not in me, is it, and initiative has been taken away from me, has it not]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠אִ֬ם אֵ֣ין עֶזְרָתִ֣⁠י בִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה נִדְּחָ֥ה מִמֶּֽ⁠נִּי

?,if not help_of,[is]_my in,myself (Some words not found in UHB: ?,if not help_of,[is]_my in,myself and,success driven from,me )

Job 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: [My help is not in me, and initiative has been taken away from me!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה נִדְּחָ֥ה מִמֶּֽ⁠נִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,if not help_of,[is]_my in,myself and,success driven from,me )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and my troubles have taken initiative away from me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,if not help_of,[is]_my in,myself and,success driven from,me )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of initiative, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and the capacity to act on my own behalf]
