Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵי־דָ֑ל
to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before poor
In this context, the phrase to the face of means “in front of” or “ahead of.” Alternate translation: “ahead of the poor” or “more than the poor”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
שׁ֭וֹעַ & דָ֑ל
rich & poor
Elihu is using the adjectives rich and poor 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: “rich people … poor people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדָ֣יו כֻּלָּֽם
work hands,his all,they
Elihu is using one part of God, his hands, to mean all of him in the act of making people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he has made all of them”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
יָדָ֣יו
hands,his
If you decided in verse 17 to use a statement or exclamation to translate the question that begins in the middle of that verse and continues to the end of this verse, remember to use the punctuation here that your language uses to mark the end of a statement or exclamation.
34:19 doesn’t care how great a person may be: Impartiality flows from God’s justice (Acts 10:34; Rom 2:11; Gal 2:6; Eph 6:9; Col 3:25; 1 Pet 1:17).
