(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what stray,us YHWH from,ways,your harden heart,our so_~_not,fear,you return for_the_sake_of your=servants tribes heritage,your )

Here the writer uses a question to express a complaint of the people to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Yahweh, you have made us wander from your ways and become stubborn so that we do not obey you.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

To not do what Yahweh commands is spoken of as if a person wanders off of the correct path. Alternate translation: “why do you make do what is wrong”
