בִּרְכַּ֣ת אֹ֭בֵד עָלַ֣י תָּבֹ֑א וְלֵ֖ב אַלְמָנָ֣ה אַרְנִֽן
blessing wretched upon,me came and,heart widow's sing_for_joy
Job is not referring to a specific person who was perishing or to a specific widow. He means those types of people in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “The blessing of people who were perishing came upon me, and I gladdened the hearts of widows”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
בִּרְכַּ֣ת אֹ֭בֵד עָלַ֣י תָּבֹ֑א
blessing wretched upon,me came
Job is speaking of the blessing that he received from someone who was perishing as if it were a living thing that could come upon him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “People who were perishing blessed me”

וְלֵ֖ב אַלְמָנָ֣ה אַרְנִֽן
and,heart widow's sing_for_joy
Job is using one part of a widow, her heart, to mean all of her in the act of feeling joy. Here the heart represents the feelings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I made widows rejoice” or “and I gave widows reason to rejoice”
