UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

שָׂ֭אוּ⁠נִי & תַלְעִֽיג

bear_with,me & mock_on

The implied “you” in the imperative Tolerate is plural because Job is addressing his three friends, but the pronoun you later in the verse is singular because Job is responding directly to Zophar. Use the corresponding forms in your translation if your language marks a distinction between singular and plural “you.”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר

and,I speak

For emphasis, Job is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb speak. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “and I will take my turn and speak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

תַלְעִֽיג

mock_on

For emphasis, Job is saying the opposite of what he means. If a speaker of your language would not do this, in your translation you could indicate what Job actually means. Alternate translation: “you will probably continue to mock me, even though you should not do so”
