UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּֽ֭⁠מִ⁠צָּהֳרַיִם יָק֣וּם חָ֑לֶד

and,than,noonday brighter life

Zophar is using the term noon by association to mean the sun at noon, that is, the sun when it is highest and brightest in the sky. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And life will arise higher than the noonday sun]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּֽ֭⁠מִ⁠צָּהֳרַיִם יָק֣וּם חָ֑לֶד

and,than,noonday brighter life

Zophar is speaking of Job’s life as if it were literally an object like the sun that could arise into the sky. By saying that Job’s life will rise into the sky even higher than the sun at noon, he means that it will be very bright. The brightness, in turn, represents happy thriving. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And your life will become very happy again, as if it were brighter than the noonday sun]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תָּ֝עֻ֗פָ⁠ה כַּ⁠בֹּ֥קֶר תִּהְיֶֽה

darkness, like_the,morning be

In a poetic parallel, Zophar is once again using light, in this instance the light of dawn, to represent happiness. This contrasts with Job’s present misery, which Zophar represents as darkness. Zophar is once again answering Job with his own words. The term translated darkness here is from the same root as the term that the ULT translates as “obscurity” in [10:22](../10/22.md). To help your readers appreciate what Zophar is doing, you could translate the term here the same way you translated it there. Alternate translation: [the misery of your life may feel like obscurity now, but it will change into happiness, just as dawn changes darkness into light]
