אֲשֶׁר־חֲכָמִ֥ים יַגִּ֑ידוּ וְלֹ֥א כִֽ֝חֲד֗וּ מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם
which/who wise told and=not hidden from,ancestors,their
Eliphaz is not suggesting that the wise might have hidden something from their fathers. He means that they have declared what they learned from their fathers and not hidden any of it from the people of their own generation. It may be helpful to move the information that the wise have not hidden what they learned to the end of the sentence. Alternate translation: “what the wise have declared from their fathers and not hidden”

חֲכָמִ֥ים
wise
Eliphaz is using the adjective wise as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wise people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם
from,ancestors,their
Although the term fathers is masculine, Eliphaz is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “from their ancestors”
15:17-19 before any foreigners arrived: Eliphaz’s contempt for foreign ideas is ironic because wisdom literature has a more international flavor than is characteristic of other Old Testament writings.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
