uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ֭⁠תַּחַת שָֽׁרָשָׁ֣י⁠ו יִבָ֑שׁוּ וּ֝⁠מִ⁠מַּ֗עַל יִמַּ֥ל קְצִירֽ⁠וֹ

from=under roots_of,his dry_up and,at,above wither branches_of,his

Bildad is speaking as if the wicked person were literally a tree that dies from lack of moisture. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He fails in every aspect of life and finally he dies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

יִמַּ֥ל קְצִירֽ⁠וֹ

wither branches_of,his

Bildad is not referring to a specific branch. He means every branch on the tree that he is using to symbolize the wicked person. If you retain the image in your translation, it may be more natural in your language to use a plural form. Alternate translation: “his branches wither”
