יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּ֠י כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲשֶׂ֤ה הָאֱלֹהִים֙ ה֚וּא יִהְיֶ֣ה לְעוֹלָ֔ם עָלָיו֙ אֵ֣ין לְהוֹסִ֔יף וּמִמֶּ֖נּוּ אֵ֣ין לִגְרֹ֑עַ וְהָאֱלֹהִ֣ים עָשָׂ֔ה שֶׁיִּֽרְא֖וּ מִלְּפָנָֽיו

Here, so that marks they might fear from before his face as the goal or purpose of God has acted. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִלְּפָנָֽיו
from,before,face_of,him
Here, his face represents “his presence.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from before his presence]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
עָלָיו֙ אֵ֣ין לְהוֹסִ֔יף וּמִמֶּ֖נּוּ אֵ֣ין לִגְרֹ֑עַ
on/upon/above=him/it not to,add and,from,it not to,take_away
Solomon is referring to all possible changes by naming two major components, nothing to add and nothing to take. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
