UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠דִין־רָשָׁ֥ע מָלֵ֑אתָ

and,judgment wicked obsessed

For emphasis, Elihu is speaking as if Job were a container that was full of judgment. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in another way. Elihu could mean: (1) that Job is like the godless people he described in verse 13, who remain angry with God because they judge that God is punishing them unfairly. Alternate translation: “But you are judging God very unfairly, as the wicked do” (2) that Job is experiencing the consequences of God’s judgment against him. Alternate translation: “but God is judging you severely, as he judges the wicked”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָשָׁ֥ע

wicked

Elihu is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wicked people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

דִּ֖ין וּ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֣ט יִתְמֹֽכוּ

judgement and,justice seize

The terms judgment and justice mean similar things. Elihu is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “strict justice takes hold”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

דִּ֖ין וּ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֣ט יִתְמֹֽכוּ

judgement and,justice seize

Elihu is speaking of these judgment and justice as if they were living things that could take hold of someone or something. He could mean: (1) that God is executing judgment against Job by punishing him. In that case, Elihu would be using judgment in a different sense than he did in the first part of the verse, to mean God’s judgment of Job rather than Job’s judgment of God. Alternate translation: “God is judging you strictly by punishing you” (2) that judgment and justice take hold of one another, meaning that they work together closely to show that Job is guilty. Alternate translation: “a just judgment is that you are guilty”
