Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאִם־בִּ֥ינָה
and=if understanding
Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “But if understanding is to you” or “But if you have understanding”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
שִׁמְעָה & הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינָה
hear, & listen,
The imperatives hear and listen are singular because Elihu is now addressing Job directly. (He is marking a transition from addressing the other “wise ones” who are present by repeating those two terms, which he also used in verse 2.) So use singular imperative forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינָה לְק֣וֹל מִלָּֽי
listen, to=sound/voice what_~_say,I
Elihu is using the term words to mean what he is about to say by using words. As in 33:8, he may be referring to the sound of the words to mean the exact words, that is, exactly what he is going to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “listen to exactly what I am going to say”
