UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָּל־יְמֵ֣י רָ֭שָׁע

all/each/any/every days_of wicked

Eliphaz 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: “For the whole lifetime of the wicked”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָ֭שָׁע

wicked

Eliphaz is using the adjective wicked 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: “the wicked person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִתְחוֹלֵ֑ל

writhes_in_pain

Eliphaz means implicitly that a wicked person will be writhing in pain because God will be punishing him for his sin. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “he is writhing in pain from God’s punishments”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠מִסְפַּ֥ר שָׁ֝נִ֗ים נִצְפְּנ֥וּ לֶ⁠עָרִֽיץ

and,number years laid_up for_the,ruthless

Eliphaz 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. Alternate translation: “and the number of years that he must suffer punishment for his own sins, they are reserved for the oppressor”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִצְפְּנ֥וּ

laid_up

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: “God has reserved them”
