UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠אֹ֣רַח עוֹלָ֣ם תִּשְׁמֹ֑ר אֲשֶׁ֖ר דָּרְכ֣וּ מְתֵי־אָֽוֶן

?,path old keep which/who trod men wicked

Eliphaz is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. This sentence continues for the next two verses. Alternate translation: “You should not keep the old way that men of iniquity have walked”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַ⁠אֹ֣רַח עוֹלָ֣ם תִּשְׁמֹ֑ר אֲשֶׁ֖ר דָּרְכ֣וּ מְתֵי־אָֽוֶן

?,path old keep which/who trod men wicked

Eliphaz is speaking of how people live as if that were a way or path that people were walking along. When Eliphaz asks whether Job will keep that way or stay on that path, he is asking whether Job really wants to live that way himself. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Will you live as men of iniquity have customarily lived” or, as a statement, “You should not live as men of iniquity have customarily lived”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מְתֵי־אָֽוֶן

men wicked

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of iniquity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “wicked people”
