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: [and you have broken the arms of the fatherless]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

וּ⁠זְרֹע֖וֹת יְתֹמִ֣ים יְדֻכָּֽא

and_[the],arms_of orphans (Some words not found in UHB: widows sent_~_away empty-handed and_[the],arms_of orphans crushed )

Job is using the adjective fatherless 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 word or phrase. Alternate translation: [and you have broken the arms of orphans]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠זְרֹע֖וֹת יְתֹמִ֣ים יְדֻכָּֽא

and_[the],arms_of orphans (Some words not found in UHB: widows sent_~_away empty-handed and_[the],arms_of orphans crushed )

Eliphaz is speaking as if Job had literally broken the arms of fatherless people. He means that Job has not helped orphans but has treated them in a way that has made them even weaker and more destitute. (As in the previous verse, the arm is a symbol of power.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you have taken advantage of orphans] or [and you have exploited orphans]
