UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַאֲזִ֣ינָ⁠ה זֹּ֣את

listen, this

Elihu is using an emphatic form of the imperative. If your language has an emphatic imperative, it would be appropriate to use it here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “Pay close attention to this”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

עֲ֝מֹ֗ד וְ⁠הִתְבּוֹנֵ֤ן

stop and,consider

Elihu is expressing a single idea by using the two verbs stand and consider. In this context, the word stand means not to do anything else. Elihu does not want Job to stand to his feet. Alternate translation: “only consider”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

נִפְלְא֬וֹת אֵֽל

wonders god's

Elihu is using the term marvelous (which is a participle serving as an adjective) as a noun to mean things of a certain kind. The ULT adds the word things to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this term with a different expression. Alternate translation: “the marvels that God does”
