UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יַגֶּד־לְ⁠ךָ֨ ׀ תַּֽעֲלֻמ֣וֹת חָכְמָה֮

and,tell to/for=yourself(m) secrets wisdom

If you translated the beginning of this sentence in the previous verse as a statement or exclamation, translate the end of the sentence here in the same way. Alternate translation: “and declare to you the secrets of wisdom!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּֽי־כִפְלַ֪יִם לְֽ⁠ת֫וּשִׁיָּ֥ה

that/for/because/then/when two_sides has,true_wisdom

By it, Zophar implicitly means God’s wisdom, and by understanding, he means Job’s understanding. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “God’s wisdom is double to your understanding” or “God’s wisdom is twice as great as your understanding”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כִּֽי־כִפְלַ֪יִם לְֽ⁠ת֫וּשִׁיָּ֥ה

that/for/because/then/when two_sides has,true_wisdom

By the expression double, Zophar actually means much greater. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God’s wisdom is far greater than your understanding”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַשֶּׁ֥ה לְ⁠ךָ֥ אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵ⁠עֲוֺנֶֽ⁠ךָ

forgotten to/for=yourself(m) god some_of,iniquity,your

Zophar is speaking as if God were literally forgetting some of Job’s iniquity. He means that God is overlooking some of the sins that Job has committed and so not punishing him for all of them. Zophar is not suggesting that there are limits to God’s knowledge or memory. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God is overlooking some of your iniquity” or “God is not punishing you for all of your sins”
