UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בִּ⁠ימֵ֣י חָרְפִּ֑⁠י

in/on/at/with,days prime,my

Job is using the term days to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “at the time when I was in my prime”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠ס֥וֹד אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַּ עֲלֵ֣י אָהֳלִֽ⁠י

in/on/at/with,friendship god's upon tent,my

Job is speaking as if God’s friendship were literally an object that had rested upon his tent. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when God in friendship blessed my tent”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אָהֳלִֽ⁠י

tent,my

As the next two verses indicate, Job is referring to his family by association with the tent in which they lived and to his possessions by association with the same tent, in which he kept them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my family and my possessions”
