Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יִשְׁמְע֗וּ
they_will_understand
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Elihu is using the term hear in a specific sense to mean “obey.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, here and in the next two verses. Alternate translation: “they obey”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יְכַלּ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֣ם בַּטּ֑וֹב וּ֝שְׁנֵיהֶ֗ם בַּנְּעִימִֽים
complete days,their in/on/at/with,prosperity and,years,their in/on/at/with,pleasantness
Elihu is using the terms days and years to refer to a specific time, the lifetimes of these repentant people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they will complete their lifetimes in good; yes, they will have pleasantness for the rest of their lifetimes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יְכַלּ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֣ם בַּטּ֑וֹב וּ֝שְׁנֵיהֶ֗ם בַּנְּעִימִֽים
complete days,their in/on/at/with,prosperity and,years,their in/on/at/with,pleasantness
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of good and pleasantness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “they will enjoy good things and be in pleasant situations for the rest of their lifetimes”
36:11 If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed: This is a valid biblical principle of repentance (see 11:13-19; 22:21-25; Deut 4:30; Jer 7:23; 26:13).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
