or ?,attempted ʼₑlhīmv to,go to=take/accept/receive to=him/it nation from,midst nation

Moses is using the question form to emphasize how amazing it was that Yahweh chose Israel and saved them from Egypt. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Make sure to end the sentence with the appropriate punctuation. Alternate translation: “God has not attempted to go and take for himself any other nation from the midst of another nation.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠מַסֹּת֩

Here the word trials refers to the plagues in Exodus 7-11 that Yahweh sent so that the Egyptians would suffer. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “by plagues”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

בְּ⁠אֹתֹ֨ת וּ⁠בְ⁠מוֹפְתִ֜ים

in/on/at/with,signs and,in/on/at/with,wonders

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠יָ֤ד חֲזָקָה֙

וּ⁠בִ⁠זְר֣וֹעַ נְטוּיָ֔ה

and,in/on/at/with,arm outstretched

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠עֵינֶֽי⁠ךָ

before,eyes,your

Here, the word eyes represents the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in your sight”
