Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
טָמ֣וּן בָּאָ֣רֶץ חַבְל֑וֹ וּ֝מַלְכֻּדְתּ֗וֹ עֲלֵ֣י נָתִֽיב
hidden on_the=earth rope,him and,trap,him in path
Bildad is continuing to speak of a wicked person as if he would literally be caught by a rope or trap. If you decided in the previous two verses to express the meaning of this image rather than retain it in your translation, you could restate the meaning in another way here.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
חַבְל֑וֹ וּ֝מַלְכֻּדְתּ֗וֹ עֲלֵ֣י
rope,him and,trap,him in
In these possessive forms, His and his are the objects rather than the subjects of rope and trap. That is, Bildad is not speaking of a rope and trap that the wicked person owns but of a rope and trap that will catch the wicked person. Alternate translation: “The rope that will catch him … and the trap that will catch him is hidden”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
טָמ֣וּן בָּאָ֣רֶץ חַבְל֑וֹ
hidden on_the=earth rope,him
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The ground is concealing the rope that will catch him”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
חַבְל֑וֹ
rope,him
By rope, Bildad means some further device for catching birds or animals. He seems to mean some larger device for catching animals that would work the same way as a “snare” that catches birds. A hunter might hide a loop of rope in the ground and pull on the rope to catch an animal once it stepped inside the loop. Alternate translation: “a loop of rope to catch him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּ֝מַלְכֻּדְתּ֗וֹ עֲלֵ֣י נָתִֽיב
and,trap,him in path
Bildad is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and a trap is hidden for him on the path”
Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
וּ֝מַלְכֻּדְתּ֗וֹ
and,trap,him
It is unclear whether Bildad is talking about a specific type of trap here. He may be using a general term for any device that would catch a bird or animal. If your language has such a general term, it would be appropriate to use it here in your translation.
