UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יְחַלֵּ֣ץ עָנִ֣י בְ⁠עָנְי֑⁠וֹ

delivers afflicted in/on/at/with,affliction,their

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of affliction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “God uses the things that afflict a person to deliver that person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

עָנִ֣י

afflicted

Elihu is using the adjective afflicted as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “an afflicted person” or “someone who is suffering from affliction”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠יִ֖גֶל בַּ⁠לַּ֣חַץ אָזְנָֽ⁠ם

and,opens in/on/at/with,adversity ear,their

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of oppression, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and he uses the things that oppress people to open their ear”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠יִ֖גֶל & אָזְנָֽ⁠ם

and,opens & ear,their

See how you translated the similar expression in 36:10. Alternate translation: “and he leads them to obey”

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אָזְנָֽ⁠ם

ear,their

If you retain the use of the term ear for the whole person in your translation, since Elihu is speaking of many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of ear. Alternate translation: “their ears”
