UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נָ֭תִיב לֹֽא־יְדָ֣ע⁠וֹ עָ֑יִט

path not knows,him bird_of_prey

Job is referring implicitly to the path that miners take into the depths of the earth in search of gemstones and precious metals. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Miners take a route into the depths of the earth that not even a sharp-eyed bird of prey can detect”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠לֹ֥א שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּ⁠וּ עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה

and=not seen,it eye falcon's

Job is using one part of a falcon, its eye, to mean all of it in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “nor has the falcon has seen it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ⁠לֹ֥א שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּ⁠וּ עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה

and=not seen,it eye falcon's

Job is not referring to a specific falcon. He means falcons in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “nor have falcons have seen it”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

אַיָּֽה

falcon's

A falcon is a bird that eats animals and other birds. If your readers would not be familiar with what a falcon is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar bird that they would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a hawk”
