sound/voice & and,tongues,their & (Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice nobles hushed and,tongues,their to,roof_of_~_mouths,their stuck )
Since Job is speaking of many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural forms of voice, tongue, and palate. Alternate translation: “The voices of … and their tongues … to their palates”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
קוֹל־נְגִידִ֥ים נֶחְבָּ֑אוּ
sound/voice nobles hushed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The nobles hushed their voices”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּ֝לְשׁוֹנָ֗ם לְחִכָּ֥ם דָּבֵֽקָה
and,tongues,their to,roof_of_~_mouths,their stuck
Job is speaking as if the tongue of each noble literally stuck to his palate, that is, to the roof of his mouth. He means that they did not say anything, as no one could say anything if his tongue truly had become stuck in this way. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they did not say anything”
