Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
גְ֭דֹלוֹת & נִ֝פְלָא֗וֹת
great & marvellous
Eliphaz is using the adjectives great and marvelous as nouns to mean certain kinds of things. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. For example, you could add the word things in both cases, as the ULT does to show the meaning.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְאֵ֣ין חֵ֑קֶר
and,cannot that_~_befathomed
Eliphaz means implicitly that even if people search or seek to find out how God does great things, they cannot succeed in learning this. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that are unsearchable” or “that no one can understand”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
נִ֝פְלָא֗וֹת
marvellous
Eliphaz 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: “and who does marvelous things”
5:9-16 Eliphaz’s doxology praised God as the wonder-working Creator and Sustainer of the universe (5:9-10) and as the righteous Judge who brings down the powerful and lifts up the poor (5:11-16).
OET (OET-RV) He does incredible things,
⇔ and performs wonders without number that are beyond our understanding.
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.
