uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

אִ֗ם מֵ⁠אֵת֙ אֲדֹנִ֣⁠י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ נִהְיָ֖ה הַ⁠דָּבָ֣ר הַ⁠זֶּ֑ה וְ⁠לֹ֤א הוֹדַ֨עְתָּ֙ אֶֽת־עבדי⁠ך מִ֗י יֵשֵׁ֛ב עַל־כִּסֵּ֥א אֲדֹנִֽ⁠י־הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ אַחֲרָֽי⁠ו

Nathan is using the question form to express doubt that the king would have made a decision about succession without telling his closest advisors. 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: [I do not believe that my lord the king would have done this thing without making his servants know who would sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.]

אִ֗ם מֵ⁠אֵת֙ אֲדֹנִ֣⁠י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ נִהְיָ֖ה הַ⁠דָּבָ֣ר הַ⁠זֶּ֑ה

if from,with my=master (Some words not found in UHB: if from,with my=master the=king been the,matter the=this and=not know DOM עבדי,ך who? sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of my=master the=king after,him )

The expression Has this thing been done uses a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Has my lord the king done this thing]
