UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָ֭עוּף

fly_away

Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person would literally fly away. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He will vanish”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠חֲל֣וֹם

like,dream

The point of this comparison is that just as when a dream ends, the person who had the dream realizes that it was not real, so it will be as if the wicked person had never existed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “as if he had never existed”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠לֹ֣א יִמְצָא֑וּ⁠הוּ

and=not found,him

They is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with an equivalent expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “and no one will be able to find him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠יֻדַּ֗ד

and,chased_away

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: “he will flee”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠יֻדַּ֗ד

and,chased_away

Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person would literally be chased away or flee. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he will vanish”
