uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ל֗וּ שָׁק֣וֹל יִשָּׁקֵ֣ל כַּעְשִׂ֑⁠י וְ֝הַוָּתִ֗י בְּֽ⁠מֹאזְנַ֥יִם יִשְׂאוּ־יָֽחַד

if_only to_be_weighed weighed vexation,my (Some words not found in UHB: if_only to_be_weighed weighed vexation,my and,calamity,my in/on/at/with,balances laid all )

Job is speaking as if his anguish and calamity could literally be weighed. He means that he wishes he could prove that his calamity is so great that it justifies the anguish he is feeling and has been expressing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I wish I could prove that my calamity warrants the amount of anguish that I am feeling and showing”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ל֗וּ שָׁק֣וֹל יִשָּׁקֵ֣ל כַּעְשִׂ֑⁠י וְ֝הַוָּתִ֗י בְּֽ⁠מֹאזְנַ֥יִם יִשְׂאוּ־יָֽחַד

if_only to_be_weighed weighed vexation,my (Some words not found in UHB: if_only to_be_weighed weighed vexation,my and,calamity,my in/on/at/with,balances laid all )

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: “If only someone would weigh my anguish thoroughly and lay my calamity in the balances”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ל֗וּ שָׁק֣וֹל יִשָּׁקֵ֣ל כַּעְשִׂ֑⁠י וְ֝הַוָּתִ֗י בְּֽ⁠מֹאזְנַ֥יִם יִשְׂאוּ־יָֽחַד

if_only to_be_weighed weighed vexation,my (Some words not found in UHB: if_only to_be_weighed weighed vexation,my and,calamity,my in/on/at/with,balances laid all )

The word balances describes an instrument for determining the weight of an object or comparing the weight of two objects. It consists of a central post with a crossbar from which two pans are hung. An object may be placed in one pan and known weights placed in the other pan until the crossbar remains level, meaning that both pans contain an equal weight. Or one object may be placed in one pan and a different object in the other pan; the pan that hangs lower contains the heavier object. If your readers would not be familiar with what balances are, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “If only someone would weigh both my anguish and my calamity on a scale”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שָׁק֣וֹל יִשָּׁקֵ֣ל

to_be_weighed weighed

The words were thoroughly weighed translate a repeated verb. Job is repeating the verb “weigh” for emphasis. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.
