Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אִם־יָ֭בִין מִפְרְשֵׂי־עָ֑ב תְּ֝שֻׁא֗וֹת סֻכָּתֽוֹ
if understand spreading clouds thundering pavilion,his
Elihu is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “no one can understand how God makes clouds spread or how he makes thunder come from his hut!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
סֻכָּתֽוֹ
pavilion,his
Elihu is speaking as if God literally lived in a hut in the sky. (He is using the same term that Job used in 27:18 to describe a guard booth.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from his dwelling place in the sky”
