אַךְ־אֵ֭לֶּה מִשְׁכְּנ֣וֹת עַוָּ֑ל וְ֝זֶ֗ה מְק֣וֹם לֹא־יָדַֽע־אֵֽל
surely these dwellings ungodly and=this place/spot not know god
Bildad is speaking as if all the misfortunes he has described were literally the dwellings of wicked people, the place where they live. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “this is what will happen to the wicked, yes, this is the fate of one who does not know God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
עַוָּ֑ל
ungodly
Bildad is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wicked people”
OET (OET-LV) Surely these [are]_the_dwelling_places of_an_unjust_person and_this [is_the]_place of_[one_who]_not he_knows god.
OET (OET-RV) That’s certainly how the homes of wicked people end up,
⇔ ≈and that’s the place for people who don’t know God.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
