Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִ֣י שָׂ֣ם פֶּה֮ לָֽאָדָם֒
who? gave mouth to_THE,mortals
Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that he is the Creator who makes it possible for people to speak. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Is it not I, Yahweh, who created the human mouth and the ability to speak”

who? makes mute or deaf or seeing or blind
Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that he is the one who decides if people can speak and hear, and if they can see. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “make people able to speak or hear or to see or to be blind”

הֲלֹ֥א אָנֹכִ֖י יְהוָֽה
?,not I YHWH
Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that he alone makes these decisions. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “I, Yahweh, am the one who does this!”
4:11 God created the organs of speech and has ordained every person’s particular abilities in this area. He is able to use what he has made and ordained.
