⇔ It’s known what humankind is
⇔ and that humans can’t dispute with the one who’s stronger than them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כְּבָר֙ נִקְרָ֣א שְׁמ֔וֹ
already given his/its=name
The expression its name has been called is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [God has already named it]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נִקְרָ֣א שְׁמ֔וֹ
given his/its=name
Here, name represents “nature” or “identity.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [its nature has been declared]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנוֹדָ֖ע אֲשֶׁר & אָדָ֑ם
and,[it_is]_known which/who & humankind
The expression it is known is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [everyone knows what a person is]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
וְלֹא־יוּכַ֣ל לָדִ֔ין עִ֥ם שהתקיף מִמֶּֽנּוּ
and=not he/it_would_be_able to,contend with ש,התקיף more,than_him
The pronoun he refers to a person, while the phrase he who is more powerful than him refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [a person is not able to contend with the one who is more powerful than him]

OET (OET-RV) Everything that existed has already been named.
⇔ It’s known what humankind is
⇔ and that humans can’t dispute with the one who’s stronger than them.
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.
