אֵ֭ל לֹ֣א יִמְאַס־תָּ֑ם
god not reject blameless
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb reject. Alternate translation: “God will always accept the innocent”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
תָּ֑ם
blameless
Bildad is using the adjective innocent 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: “a person who is innocent”

וְלֹֽא־יַ֝חֲזִ֗יק בְּיַד־מְרֵעִֽים
and=not take in/on/at/with,hand evildoers
Bildad is speaking as if God would literally hold evildoers by the hand in order to keep them from falling down. He means that God does not strengthen or support people who do evil. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but he will not help evildoers”
