OET (OET-LV) (cmp) take_it to territory_of_its and_because/when you_will_discern the_paths_of home_of_its.
OET (OET-RV) Can you take it to its territory,
⇔ ≈and how would you figure out the paths to its house?

כִּ֣י תִ֭קָּחֶנּוּ אֶל־גְּבוּל֑וֹ וְכִֽי־תָ֝בִ֗ין נְתִיב֥וֹת בֵּיתֽוֹ
that/for/because/then/when take,it to/towards territory_of,its and=because/when discern paths_of home_of,its
By it and its, Yahweh is referring specifically to darkness, which he mentioned in the latter part of the previous verse, but he is using darkness to mean both darkness and light. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use plural forms in your translation. Alternate translation: “that you would take them to their territories, and that you would perceive the paths of their houses”

כִּ֣י תִ֭קָּחֶנּוּ אֶל־גְּבוּל֑וֹ וְכִֽי־תָ֝בִ֗ין נְתִיב֥וֹת בֵּיתֽוֹ
that/for/because/then/when take,it to/towards territory_of,its and=because/when discern paths_of home_of,its
Job would need to perceive how to get to the houses of light and darkness before he could take them there, so it might be more natural to reverse the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “that you would perceive the paths of their houses and take them to their territories”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נְתִיב֥וֹת בֵּיתֽוֹ
paths_of home_of,its
Yahweh is speaking of the places where light and darkness are kept as if they were literally houses in which they lived and as if there were literally paths that led to those houses. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how to get to where it is kept” or “how to get to where they are kept”
OET (OET-LV) (cmp) take_it to territory_of_its and_because/when you_will_discern the_paths_of home_of_its.
OET (OET-RV) Can you take it to its territory,
⇔ ≈and how would you figure out the paths to its house?
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.
