UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲנִי֮ לֹ֤א אֶחֱשָׂ֫ךְ פִּ֥⁠י אֲֽ֭דַבְּרָה

I not restrain mouth,my speak

For emphasis, Job is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the word translated restrain. Job is also using an emphatic declarative form when he says I will speak. If your language has similar constructions that it uses for emphasis, you may want to use them here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “I will certainly not restrain my mouth; I will certainly speak”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲנִי֮ לֹ֤א אֶחֱשָׂ֫ךְ פִּ֥⁠י

I not restrain mouth,my

Job is using the term mouth to mean by association what he would say with his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will not limit what I have to say” or “I will not refrain from speaking”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

אֲנִי֮ לֹ֤א אֶחֱשָׂ֫ךְ פִּ֥⁠י

I not restrain mouth,my

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb restrain. Alternate translation: “I will speak freely”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אֲֽ֭דַבְּרָה בְּ⁠צַ֣ר רוּחִ֑⁠י אָ֝שִׂ֗יחָה בְּ⁠מַ֣ר נַפְשִֽׁ⁠י

speak in/on/at/with,anguish my=breath/wind/spirit complain in/on/at/with,bitterness soul,my

Job is using parts of himself, his spirit and his soul, to mean all of him in the act of speaking and complaining. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will speak in my distress; yes, I will complain in my bitterness”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֲֽ֭דַבְּרָה בְּ⁠צַ֣ר רוּחִ֑⁠י אָ֝שִׂ֗יחָה בְּ⁠מַ֣ר נַפְשִֽׁ⁠י

speak in/on/at/with,anguish my=breath/wind/spirit complain in/on/at/with,bitterness soul,my

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of distress and bitterness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “I will speak, since I am distressed; yes, I will complain, since I am bitter”
