Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אִם־אַ֭תָּה תְּשַׁחֵ֣ר אֶל־אֵ֑ל
if you(ms) seek to/towards god
For emphasis, Bildad is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated seek diligently. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “If you seek diligently for God yourself”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאֶל־שַׁ֝דַּ֗י תִּתְחַנָּֽן
and=near/to almighty make_supplication
Bildad is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and if to the Almighty you appeal”
OET (OET-LV) If you you_will_seek_earnestly (to) god and_near/to [the]_almighty you_will_seek_favour.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
