UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִנֵּ֤ה

see/lo/see!

As the General Introduction to Job discusses, Yahweh is using the term Behold to focus the adversary’s attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יָדֶ֔⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards the,satan see/lo/see! all which/who to=him/it in/on/at/with,power,your only to=him/it not stretch_out hand,your and=he/it_went_out the,satan from,in face/surface_of YHWH )

Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is in your power” or “is under your control”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

תִּשְׁלַ֖ח יָדֶ֑⁠ךָ

See how you translated the similar expression in the previous verse.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פְּנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

As in the previous verse, here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: “the presence of Yahweh”
