Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί δειλοί ἐστε? οὔπω ἔχετε πίστιν?

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples for being cowardly and for not yet having faith. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: “You should not be cowardly. I am disappointed that you do not have more faith.” or “Do not be cowardly! You should already have faith!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
οὔπω ἔχετε πίστιν
not_yet ˱you_all˲_/are/_having faith
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you could express the same idea in another way. Jesus could be implying that this faith is in: (1) God. Alternate translation: “Do you not yet believe God” (2) himself. Alternate translation: “Do you not yet trust me”
