הֲ⁠נִגְל֣וּ לְ֭⁠ךָ שַׁעֲרֵי־מָ֑וֶת

have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) (Some words not found in UHB: have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) gates_of death and,the_gates_of deep_darkness seen )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Has anyone revealed the gates of death to you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הֲ⁠נִגְל֣וּ לְ֭⁠ךָ שַׁעֲרֵי־מָ֑וֶת

have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) (Some words not found in UHB: have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) gates_of death and,the_gates_of deep_darkness seen )

Yahweh is using the term death by association to mean Sheol, the abode of the dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Have the gates of Sheol been revealed to you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הֲ⁠נִגְל֣וּ לְ֭⁠ךָ שַׁעֲרֵי־מָ֑וֶת

have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) (Some words not found in UHB: have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) gates_of death and,the_gates_of deep_darkness seen )

Yahweh is using the term gates, meaning the entrance into Sheol, by association to mean the ability to go freely about in Sheol. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Has anyone shown you how to get into Sheol] or [Have you been able to go about in Sheol]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠שַׁעֲרֵ֖י צַלְמָ֣וֶת תִּרְאֶֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: have,they_been_revealed? to/for=yourself(m) gates_of death and,the_gates_of deep_darkness seen )

Yahweh is using the term deep darkness by association to mean death and thus, in this context, the abode of the dead. So this question means basically the same thing as the first question in the verse, and you can translate it in the same way. Alternate translation: [Indeed, have you seen how to get into the abode of the dead]
