UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

וְ⁠כִֽי־כַ֝בִּ֗יר מָצְאָ֥ה יָדִֽ⁠י

and=because/when much found hand,my

In this instance, Job is swearing an oath by stating the first part of a condition (“if”) but not the second part (“then”). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explicitly state the implied second part of this condition. You could use the same language that Job uses in verses 11 and 28, or you could use plain language. Alternate translation: “and because my hand had acquired much, then judges would certainly punish such iniquity” or “and because my hand had acquired much, then I would certainly deserve punishment”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

כַ֝בִּ֗יר מָצְאָ֥ה יָדִֽ⁠י

much found hand,my

Job is using one part of himself, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of acquiring wealth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I had acquired much”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

כַ֝בִּ֗יר

much

Job is using the adjective much as a noun to mean wealth in quantity. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “a fortune”
