Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲפָנָ֥יו תִּשָּׂא֑וּן אִם־לָאֵ֥ל תְּרִיבֽוּן
?,faces_of,him will_you_all_show_partiality, if for_THE,God argue_the_case,
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “You have been lifting his face! You have been pleading for God!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הֲפָנָ֥יו תִּשָּׂא֑וּן
?,faces_of,him will_you_all_show_partiality,
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the expression lift his face means to show favor or favoritism towards someone. Alternate translation: “Will you show him favoritism?” or “You are showing him favoritism!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לָאֵ֥ל תְּרִיבֽוּן
for_THE,God argue_the_case,
Job is using the word plead to mean “argue a court case.” He is suggesting that his friends are not counseling him impartially but, rather, taking God’s side against him even though, as he sees it, he has a valid case against God. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “will you take God’s side against me?” or “you are taking God’s side against me!”
