UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

שַׁאֲנָ֑ן

at_ease

Job is using the adjective secure as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are secure”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נָ֝כ֗וֹן לְ⁠מ֣וֹעֲדֵי רָֽגֶל

ready for,unstable feet

Job is speaking of certain people as if their foot was literally slipping and they were about to fall down. Job is likely describing people who are struggling with difficulties, and he is saying that people who are secure believe that they are struggling because God is punishing them for their sins. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “They believe that when people struggle in life, that is because God is punishing them for their sins”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

נָ֝כ֗וֹן

ready

Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “They think that it is prepared”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נָ֝כ֗וֹן

ready

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. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “They think that God has prepared it”
