UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

אִם־יָמ֥וּת גֶּ֗בֶר הֲ⁠יִ֫חְיֶ֥ה

if dies man ?,live_again

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: “Even if a man dies, he might live again!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָּל־יְמֵ֣י צְבָאִ֣⁠י

all/each/any/every days_of service,my

Job is using the term days to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Throughout the time of my hardship”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כָּל־יְמֵ֣י צְבָאִ֣⁠י

all/each/any/every days_of service,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hardship, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Throughout the time when things are hard for me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּל־יְמֵ֣י צְבָאִ֣⁠י

all/each/any/every days_of service,my

Since Job said in 7:1 that a person experiences “hardship” on earth, in this phrase he is probably referring implicitly to life on earth. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “For as long as I live on this earth”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲיַחֵ֑ל עַד־בּ֝֗וֹא חֲלִיפָתִֽ⁠י

wait until come relief,my

Since Job suggests at the beginning of this verse that people could live again after they die, and since he describes his present life on earth as hardship, the implication seems to be that by my change, he means his death, which presumably would lead to a better life. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I will wait patiently to die and then live a better life” or “I will hope expectantly that after I die I will live a better life”
