UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠אֲנִ֣י אַחֲרִ֑ישׁ

and,I silent

For emphasis, Job is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated will be silent. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “I will certainly be silent”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מַה־ שָּׁ֝גִ֗יתִי

and,how gone_astray

Job is speaking as if he could have literally strayed off the right path. He means that he could have done something wrong. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and what I have done wrong”
