Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

10:5 requires obedience to all of its commands: See Lev 18:5, where these words encouraged the Israelites to obey the law in order to enjoy long life and prosperity in the land that God was giving them (see also Lev 26:3-13; Deut 28:1-14). Paul sees the implication that if people want to be right with God through the law, they can only do so by obeying all of it.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it indicates that this verse explains what Paul said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
Μωϋσῆς & γράφει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου
Moses & /is/_writing ˱of˲_the righteousness ¬which of /the/_law
Here Paul uses this clause to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament book (Leviticus 18:5). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “Moses writes in the Scriptures about the righteousness that is from the law”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
γράφει
/is/_writing
Here Paul uses the present tense verb writes to refer to something that happened in the past. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “wrote”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου
˱of˲_the righteousness ¬which of /the/_law
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “about being righteous based on the law”
Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
νόμου
/the/_law
See how you translated the law in 2:12 and in the previous verse.

ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος, ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ
the /having/_practiced them person /will_be/_living by it

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνθρωπος
person
Although the term man is masculine, Paul quotes Moses using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “man or woman”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αὐτὰ
them
Here, these things refers to everything that God commanded the Jews in the law of Moses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “these things written in the law”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αὐτὰ
them
Paul quotes Moses implying that the person must do all of these things perfectly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “all these things perfectly” or “every single one of these things”
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ζήσεται
/will_be/_living
Here, will live could refer to: (1) eternal life. Alternate translation: “will live forever” (2) a mortal life that God blesses. Alternate translation: “will stay alive”
Note 11 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῇ
it
