UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

רוּחִ֣⁠י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥⁠י נִזְעָ֗כוּ

my=breath/wind/spirit broken days,my extinguished

Job is making an overstatement when he says that his spirit has already been destroyed and his days have already been extinguished. He means that this is nearly the case. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My spirit is nearly destroyed, my days are nearly extinguished”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

רוּחִ֣⁠י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥⁠י נִזְעָ֗כוּ

my=breath/wind/spirit broken days,my extinguished

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “My troubles have nearly destroyed my spirit and extinguished my days”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

רוּחִ֣⁠י

my=breath/wind/spirit

This could mean: (1) Job’s life. Job would be using one part of himself, his spirit, to mean all of him. Alternate translation: “My life” (2) Job’s strength and morale. Alternate translation: “My strength” or “My morale”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יָמַ֥⁠י נִזְעָ֗כוּ

days,my extinguished

Job is using the term days to mean a specific period of time, his lifetime. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my life is extinguished”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָמַ֥⁠י נִזְעָ֗כוּ

days,my extinguished

Job is speaking as if his life were literally a flame that something had extinguished or snuffed out. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my life is almost over”

Note 6 topic: translate-plural

קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽ⁠י

grave to=me

While the term graves is plural, it seems unlikely that Job means he will be buried in more than one grave. (1) Job could be using the plural form to indicate an indefinite thing. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “there is a grave ready for me somewhere” (2) Job could be speaking of a graveyard or cemetery by association with the way that such a place contains many graves. Alternate translation: “the graveyard is ready for me”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽ⁠י

grave to=me

Job is saying that graves are ready for him to mean that he will die soon. This is a mild way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “soon I will die”
