UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עָ֭לַ⁠י תִּשְׁתַּפֵּ֣ךְ נַפְשִׁ֑⁠י

within,me poured_out life,my

Job is speaking as if his life were a liquid that was being poured out of a container so that soon none of it would be left in the container. (Although the verb is reflexive, it has a passive sense; Job is not saying, within this image, that his life is doing this on its own initiative.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my life is ebbing away within me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יֹ֭אחֲז֣וּ⁠נִי יְמֵי־עֹֽנִי

taken_hold_of,me days_of affliction

Job is speaking of these days as if they were living things that could seize him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am continually experiencing days of affliction”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יְמֵי־עֹֽנִי

days_of affliction

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of affliction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “days during which I am afflicted”
