Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֣וֹעַ

listen listen

Elihu is repeating the verb hear in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “Oh, hear”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

שִׁמְע֤וּ

listen

The implied “you” in the imperative hear is plural because Elihu is addressing Job, his three friends, and any others who may be present and listening. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

בְּ⁠רֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑⁠וֹ וְ֝⁠הֶ֗גֶה מִ⁠פִּ֥י⁠ו יֵצֵֽא

in/on/at/with,thunder voice,his and,rumbling from,mouth,his comes

These two phrases mean the same thing. Elihu is using them together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “how very loudly God is speaking”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠רֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑⁠וֹ וְ֝⁠הֶ֗גֶה מִ⁠פִּ֥י⁠ו יֵצֵֽא

in/on/at/with,thunder voice,his and,rumbling from,mouth,his comes

Elihu is speaking as if thunder were literally God’s voice. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this image as a comparison. Alternate translation: “this loud thunder! It is as if God is roaring”
