⇔ Even the livestock know what’s coming.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יַגִּ֣יד עָלָ֣יו רֵע֑וֹ
declares on/upon/above=him/it thunder,its
Elihu is speaking as if thunder were a shout that God made. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God announces it with thunder”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
יַגִּ֣יד עָלָ֣יו רֵע֑וֹ
declares on/upon/above=him/it thunder,its
The pronoun it could refer to: (1) the storm in general. The second half of the verse suggests that this may be the case. Alternate translation: “God proclaims the coming storm with thunder” (2) the lightning Elihu describes in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “God proclaims the lightning with thunder”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מִ֝קְנֶ֗ה אַ֣ף עַל־עוֹלֶֽה
cattle also/though on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in rises
Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “the cattle also declare their shout about the thing arising” or “the cattle also make noise about the thing arising”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עַל־עוֹלֶֽה
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in rises
Elihu is using the phrase the thing arising to mean the coming storm by association with the way that its thunderclouds are rising up into the sky. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “about the coming storm”
OET (OET-RV) Its thundering noise tells about him.
⇔ Even the livestock know what’s coming.
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.
