UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כִּ֤י תֹֽאמְר֗וּ אַיֵּ֥ה בֵית־נָדִ֑יב וְ֝⁠אַיֵּ֗ה אֹ֤הֶל ׀ מִשְׁכְּנ֬וֹת רְשָׁעִֽים

that/for/because/then/when say where house_of nobleman's and,where tent/house lived wicked

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “For you ask where the house of the tyrant is and where the tent of the habitation of the wicked is”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

אַיֵּ֥ה בֵית־נָדִ֑יב וְ֝⁠אַיֵּ֗ה אֹ֤הֶל ׀ מִשְׁכְּנ֬וֹת רְשָׁעִֽים

where house_of nobleman's and,where tent/house lived wicked

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “The house of the tyrant is gone! The tent of the habitation of the wicked is gone!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אַיֵּ֥ה בֵית־נָדִ֑יב וְ֝⁠אַיֵּ֗ה אֹ֤הֶל ׀ מִשְׁכְּנ֬וֹת רְשָׁעִֽים

where house_of nobleman's and,where tent/house lived wicked

In this quotation that Job attributes to his friends, he is using one possession of a prince, his house, and one possession of the wicked, their tent, to mean all of their possessions and ultimately their lives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, as exclamations: “The tyrant no longer lives among us! The wicked no longer live among us!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַיֵּ֥ה בֵית־נָדִ֑יב וְ֝⁠אַיֵּ֗ה אֹ֤הֶל ׀ מִשְׁכְּנ֬וֹת רְשָׁעִֽים

where house_of nobleman's and,where tent/house lived wicked

This quotation means implicitly that the tyrant and the wicked are no longer alive because God has killed them to punish them for doing wrong. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “God punishes the tyrant by killing him! God punishes the wicked by killing them!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אַיֵּ֥ה בֵית־נָדִ֑יב

where house_of nobleman's

Job is not referring to a specific tyrant. He means tyrants in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “Where are the houses of tyrants?” or “Tyrants no longer live among us!” or “God punishes tyrants by killing them!”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

וְ֝⁠אַיֵּ֗ה אֹ֤הֶל ׀ מִשְׁכְּנ֬וֹת רְשָׁעִֽים

and,where tent/house lived wicked

Job is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Since Job is speaking of more than one person, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of “tent.” Alternate translation: “Where are the tents in which wicked people lived?” or “Wicked people no longer live among us!” or “God punishes wicked people by killing them!”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֹ֤הֶל ׀ מִשְׁכְּנ֬וֹת רְשָׁעִֽים

tent/house lived wicked

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of habitation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the tent in which the wicked lived”
