UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ זְ֭רוֹעַ ל֣⁠וֹ הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ וּ⁠נְשׂ֥וּא פָ֝נִ֗ים יֵ֣שֶׁב בָּֽ⁠הּ

and,man powerful to=him/it the=earth/land and,being_honored_of faces lived in/on/at/with,it

Eliphaz could mean: (1) that Job himself was this man of arm. In that case he would be speaking of Job in the third person, even though he was speaking directly to Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: “even though, as a man of arm, the earth was to you, and you dwelt upon it as someone lifted of face” (2) that Job showed favoritism to powerful and honored people. Alternate translation: “but you decided in favor of the man of arm and the lifted of face, so that the earth was to them and they dwelt upon it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ זְ֭רוֹעַ ל֣⁠וֹ הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

and,man powerful to=him/it the=earth/land

The expression the man of arm means a powerful person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but the powerful person, the earth was to him” or “but as a powerful person, the earth was to you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ל֣⁠וֹ הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

to=him/it the=earth/land

Eliphaz is speaking as if this man of arm possessed the entire earth. He likely means that this person (possibly Job) owned much land. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “he owned much land”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠נְשׂ֥וּא פָ֝נִ֗ים יֵ֣שֶׁב

and,being_honored_of faces lived

The expression lifted of face means to be favored or honored. (See the discussion of the phrase “lift his face” in the General Notes to chapter 13.) Alternate translation: “and honored people dwelt” or “and you as an honored person dwelt”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠נְשׂ֥וּא פָ֝נִ֗ים

and,being_honored_of faces

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: “and people who received honors”
