OET (OET-RV) Throughout the empire, the Jews joined together in their cities to defend themselves against those who wanted to harm them. No one was able to fight back against them because everyone else in the empire had become afraid of them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לִשְׁלֹ֣חַ יָ֔ד
to,lay hands
Here the expression to stretch out a hand means to cause someone physical harm with the intention of killing him. Alternate translation: “to defend themselves” or “to fight”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בִּמְבַקְשֵׁ֖י רָֽעָתָ֑ם
in/on/at/with,sought harm,their
Here the abstract noun evil likely means “harm,” as in 7:7 and 8:6. In this context, the term can be expressed with a verb. Alternate translation: “who were trying to destroy them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְאִישׁ֙ לֹא־עָמַ֣ד לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם
and,one not stand against,face/front,them
Alternate translation: “no one stood against them” or “no one was able to defeat them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְאִישׁ֙ לֹא־עָמַ֣ד לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם
and,one not stand against,face/front,them
Here, standing is a metaphor meaning to defend oneself and to fight back instead of running away from an enemy. Alternate translation: “was able to fight back”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם
against,face/front,them
Here, face stands for the presence of a person, so here it means “when faced with them.” Alternate translation: “against them”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נָפַ֥ל פַּחְדָּ֖ם עַל־כָּל־הָעַמִּֽים
fallen fear,them on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,peoples
Here, falling is a metaphor meaning to affect someone. Alternate translation: “all the peoples suddenly became very afraid”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נָפַ֥ל פַּחְדָּ֖ם עַל־כָּל־הָעַמִּֽים
fallen fear,them on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,peoples
The implication is that as a result, no one helped anyone who attacked the Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly.
