OET (OET-LV) Listen carefully_(listen) in/on/at/with_thunder voice_his and_rumbling from_mouth_his it_comes_out.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֣וֹעַ
listen listen
Elihu is repeating the verb hear in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “Oh, hear”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
שִׁמְע֤וּ
listen
The implied “you” in the imperative hear is plural because Elihu is addressing Job, his three friends, and any others who may be present and listening. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑וֹ וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא
in/on/at/with,thunder voice,his and,rumbling from,mouth,his comes
These two phrases mean the same thing. Elihu is using them together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “how very loudly God is speaking”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑וֹ וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא
in/on/at/with,thunder voice,his and,rumbling from,mouth,his comes
Elihu is speaking as if thunder were literally God’s voice. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this image as a comparison. Alternate translation: “this loud thunder! It is as if God is roaring”
37:2 The Old Testament often associates thunder with God’s voice (36:29, 33; 37:5; 38:1; Exod 19:16-19; Ps 104:7).

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.
