UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָי⁠ו מִ֣י פִתֵּ֑חַ

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,neck,his abides strength and,before,face/front,him dances dismay )

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one has opened the doors of its face!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,neck,his abides strength and,before,face/front,him dances dismay )

Yahweh is speaking as if the jaws of Leviathan were literally doors in its face. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Its jaws”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

סְבִיב֖וֹת שִׁנָּ֣י⁠ו אֵימָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,neck,his abides strength and,before,face/front,him dances dismay )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of terror, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Its teeth are terrifying”
