⇔ although he’s over every nation as well as every individual
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְה֤וּא יַשְׁקִ֨ט ׀ וּמִ֥י יַרְשִׁ֗עַ וְיַסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נִים וּמִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ
and=he quiet and,who condemn and,hides face and,who behold,him
Elihu is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “Even if God is silent, no one can condemn him. If God hides his face, no one can perceive him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
פָּ֭נִים
face
Elihu is using one part of God, his face, to mean all of him in the act of hiding himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “himself”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְעַל־גּ֖וֹי וְעַל־אָדָ֣ם יָֽחַד
and,over nation and,over humankind alike
Elihu is describing God as over or spatially above each nation and man (person) in order to indicate that God rules them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yet he rules both individual nations and individual persons”

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.
