UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּי

that/for/because/then/when

Elihu is using the word For to introduce the reason why the storms that God creates are so far-reaching in their effects, as he has just described. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “The storms that God creates are so far-reaching in their effects because”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

בָ֭⁠ם

in/on/at/with,these

The pronoun them refers either to the clouds that Elihu describes in verses 28 and 29 or to the thunder and lightning that he describes in verses 29 and 30. But either way, he is referring ultimately to thunderstorms such as the one whose formation he is narrating in this part of his speech. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “by such storms”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָדִ֣ין עַמִּ֑ים

judges peoples

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly in your translation how God judges the peoples through the storms that he creates. Alternate translation: “he judges the peoples, sending lightning to punish those who disobey him but sending rain to bless those who obey him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִֽתֶּן־אֹ֥כֶל לְ⁠מַכְבִּֽיר

gives food in,abundance

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly in your translation how God gives food in abundance through the storms that he creates. Alternate translation: “the rain from these storms causes crops to grow in abundance”
