הֲיִכְרֹ֣ת בְּרִ֣ית עִמָּ֑ךְ תִּ֝קָּחֶ֗נּוּ לְעֶ֣בֶד עוֹלָֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: לא keep_silence limbs,his and,concerning mighty_strength and,graceful frame,his )
Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “It would not cut a covenant with you! You could not take it for a servant forever!”

הֲיִכְרֹ֣ת בְּרִ֣ית עִמָּ֑ךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: לא keep_silence limbs,his and,concerning mighty_strength and,graceful frame,his )
Yahweh is speaking as if Leviathan could intelligently make legal arrangements. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “If it could cut covenants, it would not cut one with you!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הֲיִכְרֹ֣ת בְּרִ֣ית
(Some words not found in UHB: לא keep_silence limbs,his and,concerning mighty_strength and,graceful frame,his )
See how you translated the expression “cut a covenant” in 31:1. Alternate translation: “Will it make a covenant”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עוֹלָֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: לא keep_silence limbs,his and,concerning mighty_strength and,graceful frame,his )
The word translated forever does not mean for eternity. It describes an indefinite future period. In this context, it describes becoming a servant without any specified term of service, that is, for life. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “for the rest of its life”

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.
