or ?,attempted ʼElohīm 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

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

וּ⁠בְ⁠מִלְחָמָ֗ה

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠יָ֤ד חֲזָקָה֙
