OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said you_have_made_difficult to_ask if you_will_see DOM_me taken from_with_you may_it_be to/for_yourself(m) thus and_if not not it_will_be.
OET (OET-RV) “Oh, that’s a difficult request,” Eliyah had responded. “Well, if you see me being taken away from you, then you’ll get what you asked for, but if you miss seeing me go, you won’t.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אִם־תִּרְאֶ֨ה אֹתִ֜י לֻקָּ֤ח
if (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said difficult to,ask if see DOM=me taken from,with,you let_it_be to/for=yourself(m) so and=if not not be )
The expression being taken is 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. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: [If you see Yahweh taking me]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאִם־אַ֖יִן לֹ֥א יִהְיֶֽה
and=if not not be
Elijah is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the verse if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [But if you do not see me being taken from you, it will not be thus for you]

OET (OET-RV) “Oh, that’s a difficult request,” Eliyah had responded. “Well, if you see me being taken away from you, then you’ll get what you asked for, but if you miss seeing me go, you won’t.”
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.
