OET (OET-RV) Not so many people are wise,
⇔ and older people don’t necessarily understand what’s right.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לֹֽא־רַבִּ֥ים יֶחְכָּ֑מוּ וּ֝זְקֵנִ֗ים יָבִ֥ינוּ מִשְׁפָּֽט
not abundant wise and,aged understand what_is_right
Elihu means implicitly that it is not the great or the aged alone who are wise and understand justice. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “It is not only the great who are wise, and it is not the aged alone who understand justice”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
רַבִּ֥ים & וּ֝זְקֵנִ֗ים
abundant & and,aged
Elihu is using the adjectives great and aged as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “Great people … and aged people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מִשְׁפָּֽט
what_is_right
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is just”
32:1–37:24 Having completed three cycles of speeches between Job and his three friends, we now hear from a new voice. Elihu has not been previously introduced, but he is a young man who has listened to everything the others have said.
OET (OET-RV) Not so many people are wise,
⇔ and older people don’t necessarily understand what’s right.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
