OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was if/because Parˊoh he_made_stubborn to_let_us_go and_ YHWH _he_killed every_of firstborn in_land of_Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from_the_firstborn_of humankind and_unto the_firstborn_of livestock therefore yes/correct/thus/so I am_sacrificing to/for_YHWH every_of firstborn_of a_womb the_males and_all (the)_firstborn_of my_sons_of_my I_redeem.
OET (OET-RV) And so it was that when Far’oh was too stubborn to let us go, then Yahweh struck all of the oldest sons and oldest male animals in Egypt. That’s why we offer all the oldest offspring to Yahweh, and why we need to buy back all our oldest sons.’

כִּֽי־הִקְשָׁ֣ה פַרְעֹה֮ לְשַׁלְּחֵנוּ֒
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when stubbornly_refused Parˊoh to,let,us_go and,he_killed YHWH all/each/any/every firstborn in=land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from_[the],firstborn_of humankind and=unto firstborn_of cattle/livestock on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I sacrifice to/for=YHWH all/each/any/every first_offspring_of womb the,males and=all firstborn_of my_sons_of,my redeem )
If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. This means he was stubborn. His stubborn attitude is spoken of as if he were hard. Alternate translation: [that when Pharaoh resisted letting us go]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
מִבְּכֹ֥ר אָדָ֖ם וְעַד־בְּכ֣וֹר בְּהֵמָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when stubbornly_refused Parˊoh to,let,us_go and,he_killed YHWH all/each/any/every firstborn in=land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from_[the],firstborn_of humankind and=unto firstborn_of cattle/livestock on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I sacrifice to/for=YHWH all/each/any/every first_offspring_of womb the,males and=all firstborn_of my_sons_of,my redeem )
This is a figure of speech used to emphasize the extent of the plague, nothing was exempt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [whether he was a person or an animal]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
