Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל קָ֑יִן
and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Qayin/(Cain)
The way you translate this quote margin should fit with the way that you translated the following three rhetorical questions. Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh asked Cain”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
לָ֚מָּה חָ֣רָה לָ֔ךְ וְלָ֖מָּה נָפְל֥וּ פָנֶֽיךָ
to/for=what it_glowed/burned to/for=you(fs) and=for=what? they_have_fallen your(ms)=faces/face
God is using these rhetorical questions to correct Cain. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Also see how you translated the idioms “burned with … anger” and “face fell” in verse 5. Alternate translation: “Why are you so angry? And why are you scowling?” or “There is no reason for you to be angry and scowling.”
