UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world & and the peoples

(Some words not found in UHB: to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH that/for/because/then/when coming that/for/because/then/when coming to,judge the=earth/land judge world in/on/at/with,righteousness and,peoples in/on/at/with,faithfulness_of,his )

The three phrase have similar meanings; the last two phases are used to strengthen the first.

to judge & will judge

Another possible meaning is “to rule … will rule.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

He will judge the world with righteousness

Here “the world” is a metonym for all the people in the world. See how these words are translated in Psalms 9:8. Alternate translation: “He will judge all the people of the world righteously”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

the peoples with his faithfulness

The words “he will judge” are understood. Alternate translation: “he will judge the peoples with his faithfulness”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

with his faithfulness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. This could mean: (1) Alternate translation: “fairly, according to what he knows is true” or (2) Alternate translation: “using the same standard for all people”
