OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said if/because a_hand [was]_on the_throne of_Yah war to/for_YHWH in/on/at/with_ˊAmālēq from_generation generation.
OET (OET-RV) saying, “Because they battled against Yah’s throne, then Yahweh will battle against Amalek from generation to generation.”
כִּֽי־יָד֙ עַל־כֵּ֣ס יָ֔הּ
that/for/because/then/when hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne Yah
The Hebrew here is very difficult, and there are a variety of opinions regarding the meaning. Questions include: (1) Whose hand is referred to? Amalek’s, Yahweh’s, or Moses’? (2) What is the hand on (or against)? Yahweh’s throne or banner? (3) What is the meaning of the Hebrew preposition meaning on, against, or above? What does that signify? Rebellion, or taking an oath, or holding onto a symbol of power? If there is another translation in your region, it may be best to simply follow the interpretation it gives. Alternate translation: “Because a hand was on the throne of Yah” or “Because a hand was on the banner of Yah”
מִלְחָמָ֥ה לַיהוָ֖ה בַּֽעֲמָלֵ֑ק
war to/for=YHWH in/on/at/with,Amalek
This phrase has no verbs in Hebrew. You may need to translate the noun war as a verb. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will make war with Amalek” or “Yahweh will war against Amalek”
17:16 They have raised their fist against the Lord’s throne, so now: The NLT sees the fist raised against the Lord’s throne as Amalek’s aggression against the Lord and his people. The alternate interpretation sees a reference to Moses’ own hands that were lifted to the Lord in prayer (17:15).

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.
