UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם כִּסָּה־א֑וֹר

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hands covers light

Elihu is using this expression to mean that God picks up so much lightning with his hands that his hands are no longer visible beneath it. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “He fills his hands with lightning”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יְצַ֖ו עָלֶ֣י⁠הָ בְ⁠מַפְגִּֽיעַ

and=he/it_commanded on/upon=it(f) in/on/at/with,strike_the_mark

Elihu is speaking as if God literally gave a command to the lightning that it should hit a certain mark. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he makes it strike where he wishes”
