UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

זֶ֗ה

this

The pronoun This does not refer to a specific person. Job is using it to describe one kind of person and to introduce a contrast with a different kind of person, whom he describes as “That one” in verse 25. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “One person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠עֶ֣צֶם תֻּמּ֑⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,prosperity full,his

In this expression, the word bone indicates the essence of something. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “at the height of his perfection”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠עֶ֣צֶם תֻּמּ֑⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,prosperity full,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of perfection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “while he is still perfectly healthy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כֻּ֝לּ֗⁠וֹ שַׁלְאֲנַ֥ן וְ⁠שָׁלֵֽיו

completely,him secure and,at_ease

Job says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “he is very tranquil and secure”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

כֻּ֝לּ֗⁠וֹ שַׁלְאֲנַ֥ן וְ⁠שָׁלֵֽיו

completely,him secure and,at_ease

The terms tranquil and secure mean similar things. Job may be using the two terms together for emphasis. However, there is a slight difference between them. The word tranquil refers more to a person not having to worry about threats, while the word secure refers more to a person being wealthy. You could express both words with a single phrase that would communicate emphasis, or you could use two words to bring out the different shades of meaning. Alternate translation: “he is very comfortable” or “he is so wealthy that he does not worry”
