Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
יִ֭גְלֶה אֹ֣זֶן אֲנָשִׁ֑ים
opens ears men
Since Elihu is speaking of many people, if you retain the term ear in your translation, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of the word. Alternate translation: “God opens the ears of people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יִ֭גְלֶה אֹ֣זֶן אֲנָשִׁ֑ים
opens ears men
Elihu is using the term ear by association to mean hearing. When he says that God opens people’s ears, he means that God enables them to hear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God enables people to hear him speaking”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יִ֭גְלֶה אֹ֣זֶן אֲנָשִׁ֑ים
opens ears men
In this context, hearing represents understanding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God enables people to understand what he is saying to them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
וּבְמֹ֖סָרָ֣ם יַחְתֹּֽם
and,in/on/at/with,warnings,them terrifies
Elihu is using the possessive form their correction to describe the correction that God gives to people, not the correction that people give. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “and seals the correction that he gives to them”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבְמֹ֖סָרָ֣ם יַחְתֹּֽם
and,in/on/at/with,warnings,them terrifies
Elihu is speaking as if God literally placed a seal over the correction that he gave to people. He means that God preserves the value and influence of the correction. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and enables them to appreciate and benefit from the correction that he gives to them”
