UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

הֲ⁠לֹא־הֵ֣ם י֭וֹרוּ⁠ךָ יֹ֣אמְרוּ לָ֑⁠ךְ וּ֝⁠מִ⁠לִּבָּ֗⁠ם יוֹצִ֥אוּ מִלִּֽים

?,not they teach,you tell to/for=you(fs) and,from,understanding,their utter words

The pronouns they and their refer to the “former generations,” that is, the ancestors whom Bildad described in verse 8. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Will the former generations not teach you? Our ancestors will speak to you, and from their hearts they will bring forth words”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֲ⁠לֹא־הֵ֣ם י֭וֹרוּ⁠ךָ יֹ֣אמְרוּ לָ֑⁠ךְ וּ֝⁠מִ⁠לִּבָּ֗⁠ם יוֹצִ֥אוּ מִלִּֽים

?,not they teach,you tell to/for=you(fs) and,from,understanding,their utter words

Bildad is speaking as if Job’s ancestors would teach him and speak to him. He does not mean this literally. Instead, he means that Job can learn from the accumulated wisdom that has been passed down to them from their ancestors through tradition. Bildad will summarize this traditional teaching in the rest of his speech. Particularly if there is a practice of ancestor worship in your culture, be sure to make this meaning clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “You can learn much from the traditional teachings we have received from them. It would be as if they were speaking to you and bringing forth words from their hearts”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹא־הֵ֣ם י֭וֹרוּ⁠ךָ

?,not they teach,you

Bildad is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “They will certainly teach you.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ֝⁠מִ⁠לִּבָּ֗⁠ם יוֹצִ֥אוּ מִלִּֽים

and,from,understanding,their utter words

Bildad is speaking as if the ancestors would literally bring forth words from their hearts, as if their hearts were containers that held words and as if words were physical objects that someone could bring forth. He is using the word hearts to mean a person’s thoughts and emotions. He is saying that through tradition the ancestors have passed down their most cherished beliefs and the most profound lessons they learned in life. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they will share with you their most cherished insights”
