שַׁאֲגַ֣ת אַ֭רְיֵה וְ⁠ק֣וֹל שָׁ֑חַל וְ⁠שִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ

roar_of lion and,voice_of fierce_lion and,teeth_of young_lions broken

Eliphaz is using exclamations to add emphasis to the point he is making. If these would not be natural in your language, you could translate them as statements. Alternate translation: “Lions may roar, indeed, fierce lions may rumble, but the teeth of the young lions are broken”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שַׁאֲגַ֣ת אַ֭רְיֵה וְ⁠ק֣וֹל שָׁ֑חַל וְ⁠שִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ

roar_of lion and,voice_of fierce_lion and,teeth_of young_lions broken

Eliphaz is speaking of wicked people as if they were literally lions. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Wicked people may say threatening things and appear dangerous, but God will keep them from harming righteous people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠שִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ

and,teeth_of young_lions broken

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “But God breaks the teeth of the young lions”
