תַּֽחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אוֹר֗וֹ עַל־כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ
under all/each/any/every the=heavens lets_~_loose,it and,lightning,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ends the=earth/land
Elihu is speaking as if thunder and lightning were captive or restrained and God let them loose or released them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God makes it thunder so loudly that it can be heard under the whole sky, and he makes the lightning flash so brightly that it can be seen everywhere on earth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
תַּֽחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אוֹר֗וֹ עַל־כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ
under all/each/any/every the=heavens lets_~_loose,it and,lightning,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ends the=earth/land
Elihu says that thunder can be heard everywhere under the sky and that lightning can be seen in the most distant places on earth as overstatements for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “God makes it thunder so loudly in the sky that people who are far away can hear it, and he makes the lightning flash so brightly that even people who are distant from where it strikes can see it”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ
lets_~_loose,it
The pronoun it refers to the thunder that Elihu described in the previous verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God lets the thunder loose”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝אוֹר֗וֹ
and,lightning,his
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: “and he lets his lightning loose”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עַל־כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ends the=earth/land
People in this culture believed that the earth was a flat surface that had edges. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the meaning here in terms of your own culture. Alternate translation: “all around the world”
