UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹֽא־יִגְרַ֥ע מִ⁠צַּדִּ֗יק עֵ֫ינָ֥י⁠ו

not withdraw from,righteous eyes_of,his

Elihu is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He keeps his eyes on the righteous]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לֹֽא־יִגְרַ֥ע מִ⁠צַּדִּ֗יק עֵ֫ינָ֥י⁠ו

not withdraw from,righteous eyes_of,his

Elihu is using one part of God, his eyes, to mean all of him in the act of watching over the righteous. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He continually watches over the righteous]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

מִ⁠צַּדִּ֗יק

from,righteous

Elihu is using the adjective righteous as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [from the person who is righteous]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מִ⁠צַּדִּ֗יק

from,righteous

Elihu is not referring to a specific righteous person. He means righteous people in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form, particularly since Elihu uses plural forms in the rest of this verse. Alternate translation: [from righteous people]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אֶת־מְלָכִ֥ים לַ⁠כִּסֵּ֑א וַ⁠יֹּשִׁיבֵ֥⁠ם

and=DOM kings on_the,throne and,sets,them

Elihu is speaking as if God literally put righteous people on a throne together with kings. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but he gives them positions of power and influence]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּגְבָּֽהוּ

and,exalted

Elihu is speaking as if righteous people literally rise high when God helps them. He is speaking of the esteem in which others come to hold them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and others esteem them greatly]
