UTN uW Translation Notes:

in the darkness & the place of forgetfulness

(Some words not found in UHB: the,declared in/on/at/with,grave steadfast_love_of,your faithfulness_of,your in/on/at/with,abaddon )

These represent the place where people go after they die.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

Will your wonderful deeds be known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?

(Some words not found in UHB: the,declared in/on/at/with,grave steadfast_love_of,your faithfulness_of,your in/on/at/with,abaddon )

Both questions mean the same thing. The writer uses questions to emphasize that those who are dead are not able to experience or proclaim the great things God does. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “People will not talk about your wonderful deeds and righteousness in the dark place of the forgotten dead.” (See also: figs-rquestion and figs-activepassive)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?

(Some words not found in UHB: the,declared in/on/at/with,grave steadfast_love_of,your faithfulness_of,your in/on/at/with,abaddon )

This can be translated as a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “Will your righteousness be known in the place of forgetfulness?” or “Those who are in the place of forgetfulness will not know about the righteous things you do.” (See also: figs-rquestion)
