OET (OET-LV) and_they_spoke the_descendants of_Yōşēf/(Joseph) with Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) to_say why have_you_given to/for_me an_inheritance a_lot one and_portion one and_we [am]_a_people numerous to that until thus blessed_us YHWH.

מַדּוּעַ֩ נָתַ֨תָּה לִּ֜י נַחֲלָ֗ה גּוֹרָ֤ל אֶחָד֙ וְחֶ֣בֶל אֶחָ֔ד וַֽאֲנִ֣י עַם רָ֔ב עַ֥ד אֲשֶׁר עַד כֹּ֖ה בֵּֽרְכַ֥נִי יְהוָֽה
why you(ms)_put to/for=me inheritance allotment one(ms) and,portion one(ms) and,we people numerous until which/who until thus blessed,us YHWH
The descendants of Joseph are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not have given us only one lot, one portion, as an inheritance! After all, we are a numerous people, since Yahweh has blessed us unto now.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לִּ֜י & וַֽאֲנִ֣י & בֵּֽרְכַ֥נִי
to/for=me & and,we & blessed,us
The author is speaking of the tribes of Joseph as if they were a single person who could speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly using plural pronouns, as the author himself does in verse 16. Alternate translation: “to us ... when we are ... has blessed us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
גּוֹרָ֤ל אֶחָד֙ וְחֶ֣בֶל אֶחָ֔ד
allotment one(ms) and,portion one(ms)
The terms lot and portion mean similar things. The descendants of Joseph are using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “only one portion of land”
17:14 Joseph’s one portion is described in 16:1-4. The descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh received portions that, when combined, were larger than the allotment of any other tribe.

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.
