Jesus is using the question form to show that people cannot add to their lifespan by being anxious. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “none of you, being anxious, is able to add one cubit to his lifespan.” or “not one you, being anxious, can ever add one cubit to his lifespan!”

/is/_able /to/_add to the lifespan ˱of˲_him hour one

Note 5 topic: translate-bdistance
πῆχυν ἕνα
hour one
A cubit is a measure of length equal to about half a meter or about a foot and a half. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this length using the measure that is customary in your culture.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

˱of˲_him
Although the term his is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “his or her”
