/be/_telling ˱to˲_me you_all under /the/_law wanting to_be the law not ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing
Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form in order to cause the Galatian believers to think about and reflect on what he is going to say next. 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: “Each of you who desire to be under the law. You should listen to what the law actually says” or “Those of you who desire to be under the law. You pay closer attention to what the law really teaches”
τὸν νόμον οὐκ ἀκούετε
the law not ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing
Alternate translation: “do you not comprehend what the law is teaching” or “do you not understand what the law is actually teaching”
4:21 do you know what the law actually says? They were trying to achieve righteousness by the law, but they did not truly understand its meaning (cp. Luke 24:25-27; 1 Tim 1:7).

OET (OET-RV) Are you all who are under the law, telling me that you’re not even hearing what the law is?
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
