Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִֽי־גִ֭לָּה פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשׁ֑וֹ בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗וֹ מִ֣י יָבֽוֹא
(Some words not found in UHB: breath,his coals kindles and,flame from,mouth,his comes_out )
Yahweh 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 these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “No one has removed the face of its clothing! No one has entered into the double of its bridle!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשׁ֑וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: breath,his coals kindles and,flame from,mouth,his comes_out )
Yahweh is speaking as if the tough skin or hide of Leviathan were its clothing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the face of its hide”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשׁ֑וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: breath,his coals kindles and,flame from,mouth,his comes_out )
Yahweh is using the term face in a specific sense to mean “surface.” By the surface of Leviathan’s hide, he means the scales that he describes in verses 15–17. Alternate translation: “the scales on its hide”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: breath,his coals kindles and,flame from,mouth,his comes_out )
Yahweh is using this possessive form to describe a bridle that is characterized by being double. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Into its double bridle”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: breath,his coals kindles and,flame from,mouth,his comes_out )
The term bridle describes a type of headgear that people put on animals in order to control them. It consists of a bit that goes into the animal’s mouth and a series of straps that a rider can use to apply pressure to the bit. If your readers would not be familiar with what a bridle is, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “Into its double controlling mouthpiece”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּכֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: breath,his coals kindles and,flame from,mouth,his comes_out )
As the next verse suggests, Yahweh is using the term bridle by association to mean the mouth of Leviathan and specifically its jaws, since the term double indicates that he is referring to something paired. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Into its double jaws”
