Synopsis of Gau ilunekoak (Los seres de la noche) (2008)
No hay lugar para el sol alrededor, ni tampoco existe el día después de la noche. El manto de la noche lo cubre todo, la noche es oscura y eterna, y desde el umbrío suelo se alza una niebla pestilente y se expande en el aire de un lado a otro, ***de manera que trae, lleva y entremezcla arriba y abajo*** los fuertes vientos.
All suggestions welcome, many thanks in advance

"it" referring to the mist previously mentioned, so the mist is mixing and swirling with the strong winds.
I'm not keen on brings and takes as I don't think they sound at all natural when talking about wind/mist, although I do like the idea of reflecting antonyms

Comment: "thanks to everyone, "swirls" fits perfectly. I consulted a Basque translator and she looked it up in the original language and said it can be taken with the wind as the subject, which makes sense."

so it brings, takes and mixes up strong winds everywhere.
A further suggestion.
I think the antonyms traer and llevar need to be reflected in the translation by the use of antonyms in English Also that "arriba y abajo" refer to it happening "all over the place/eveywhere" rather than being adjectives for the winds.

resulting in the ebbing and flowing/the to and fro movement and intermingling all over/up and down
Another way
