OET (OET-RV) “If Yahweh’s turned away from you and become your enemy,” Shemuel responded, “what’s the point in asking me?”

וְלָ֖מָּה תִּשְׁאָלֵ֑נִי וַיהוָ֛ה סָ֥ר מֵעָלֶ֖יךָ וַיְהִ֥י עָרֶֽךָ
and=for=what? ask,me and,LORD turned_away from,with,you and=he/it_was enemy_of,your
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since Yahweh has turned aside from with you and has become your enemy, why do you ask me?]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְלָ֖מָּה תִּשְׁאָלֵ֑נִי וַיהוָ֛ה סָ֥ר מֵעָלֶ֖יךָ וַיְהִ֥י עָרֶֽךָ
and=for=what? ask,me and,LORD turned_away from,with,you and=he/it_was enemy_of,your
Samuel is 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 ask me, since Yahweh has turned aside from with you and has become your enemy!] or [Since Yahweh has turned aside from with you and has become your enemy, you should not ask me!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיהוָ֛ה סָ֥ר מֵעָלֶ֖יךָ
and,LORD turned_away from,with,you
Samuel is speaking as if Yahweh had physically turned aside and moved away from Saul. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [since Yahweh is no longer helping you] or [since Yahweh has abandoned you]
28:16 Saul’s enemy was not David but the Lord himself.
OET (OET-LV) and_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_said and_for_what ask_me and_LORD he_has_turned_aside from_with_you and_he/it_was enemy_of_your.
OET (OET-RV) “If Yahweh’s turned away from you and become your enemy,” Shemuel responded, “what’s the point in asking me?”
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
