Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְעַתָּה֙ לָ֣מָּה נָמ֔וּת
and=now to/for=what die
The Israelite leaders are using the question form to express their fears that they would die if Yahweh spoke to them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [And we do not want to die.]

כִּ֣י תֹֽאכְלֵ֔נוּ הָאֵ֥שׁ הַגְּדֹלָ֖ה הַזֹּ֑את אִם־יֹסְפִ֣ים ׀ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ לִ֠שְׁמֹעַ אֶת־ק֨וֹל יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵ֛ינוּ ע֖וֹד וָמָֽתְנוּ
that/for/because/then/when consume,us the,fire the=big/large/great(fs) the,this if continue we to,hear DOM sound/voice YHWH God_of,our again/more and,die
The Israelite leaders are suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that they will only die if they continue to hear the voice of Yahweh. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: [If we continue anymore to hear the voice of Yahweh our God, then this great fire will consume us, then we will die]
5:1-32 The rest of the covenant laws expand and comment upon the Ten Commandments (5:6-21), on which they are based. Moses had first given the Ten Commandments to the people of Israel nearly forty years earlier (Exod 20:2-17).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
