τίς ἡ πρόσλημψις εἰ μὴ ζωὴ ἐκ νεκρῶν?
what_‹is› the acceptance except ¬not/lest life from /the/_dead
Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize how wonderful it will be when God accepts the Jews. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “their acceptance is certainly life from dead ones!”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ζωὴ ἐκ νεκρῶν
life from /the/_dead
This phrase could refer to: (1) the final resurrection of all Christians that will take place after the whole Jewish remnant has believed in Jesus. Elsewhere in this letter, Paul uses a similar phrase to refer to Jesus’ resurrection. Alternate translation: “bringing the dead back to life” (2) the Jewish remnant changing from being spiritually dead to being spiritually alive. Alternate translation: “eternally alive from being eternally dead”
Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐκ νεκρῶν
from /the/_dead
See how you translated a similar phrase in 4:24.
11:15 The context emphasizes God’s role in hardening many Jews (11:7-10), so the phrase their rejection likely means God’s rejection of the unbelieving Jews.
• Their acceptance then refers to God’s acceptance of Jews into his Kingdom (see also 14:3 and 15:7).
• While the phrase life for those who were dead could refer to the new spiritual life that comes to the Jews as a result of their conversion to Christ (see 6:13), the language more naturally suggests the physical resurrection from the dead that occurs when Christ returns in glory (see, e.g., 1 Thes 4:13-18).

OET (OET-RV) Because if their rejection of the messiah meant that the rest of the world would be reconciled, what else could their acceptance bring other than coming back to life from the dead.
