UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠יִּ֣גֶל אָ֭זְנָ⁠ם לַ⁠מּוּסָ֑ר

and,opens ears,their to_the,instruction

Elihu is using one part of these righteous people who unfortunately have sinned, their ear, to mean all of them in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he enables them to hear correction”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּ֣גֶל אָ֭זְנָ⁠ם לַ⁠מּוּסָ֑ר

and,opens ears,their to_the,instruction

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, in this context, to hear means to obey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he enables them to obey correction”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠יִּ֣גֶל אָ֭זְנָ⁠ם לַ⁠מּוּסָ֑ר

and,opens ears,their to_the,instruction

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of correction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and he enables them to obey him when he corrects them”

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אָ֭זְנָ⁠ם

ears,their

If you retain the use of the term ear for the whole person in your translation, since Elihu is speaking of many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of ear. Alternate translation: “their ears”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וַ֝⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יְשֻׁב֥וּ⁠ן מֵ⁠אָֽוֶן

and=he/it_said that/for/because/then/when return, from,iniquity

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “and says, ‘You shall return from iniquity!’”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

וַ֝⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יְשֻׁב֥וּ⁠ן מֵ⁠אָֽוֶן

and=he/it_said that/for/because/then/when return, from,iniquity

In this quotation by Elihu, God is using a future statement to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words using a command form. Alternate translation: “and says, ‘You must return from iniquity!’”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ֝⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יְשֻׁב֥וּ⁠ן מֵ⁠אָֽוֶן

and=he/it_said that/for/because/then/when return, from,iniquity

In this quotation by Elihu, God is speaking as if iniquity were a place from which disobedient people had to return. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and says, ‘You must stop committing iniquity!’”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ֝⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יְשֻׁב֥וּ⁠ן מֵ⁠אָֽוֶן

and=he/it_said that/for/because/then/when return, from,iniquity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of iniquity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and says, ‘You must stop doing things that are iniquitous!’”
