UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

יְשַׁלֶּם & יַמְצִאֶֽ⁠נּוּ

repay & befall,him

The pronoun he refers to God in both instances. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God repays … God causes it to find him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

פֹ֣עַל אָ֭דָם יְשַׁלֶּם־ל֑⁠וֹ

deeds humankind repay to=him/it

See how you translated the word “repay” in 21:19. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God punishes a person for what he does”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּֽ⁠כְ⁠אֹ֥רַח אִ֝֗ישׁ

and,according_to,conduct (a)_man

Elihu is speaking of how a person lives as if that were a path that the person was walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and based on how a person lives”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

יַמְצִאֶֽ⁠נּוּ

befall,him

Here, it is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with an equivalent expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “God causes things to happen to him”
