OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said who made_you as_man a_chief and_judge over_us the_to_kill_me [are]_you saying just_as you_killed DOM the_from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim) and_afraid Mosheh and_thought truly it_is_known the_thing.
OET (OET-RV) “Who made you the ruler and judge over us?” the man replied. “Are you planning to kill me like you killed that Egyptian?” Then Mosheh was afraid because he realised that what he’d done had probably become widely known.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִ֣י שָֽׂמְךָ֞ לְאִ֨ישׁ שַׂ֤ר וְשֹׁפֵט֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ
who? made,you as,man chief and,judge over,us
The man is not asking a question, he is using this question to rebuke Moses for intervening in the fight. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You are not our leader and have no right to judge us!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
הַלְהָרְגֵ֨נִי֙ אַתָּ֣ה אֹמֵ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָרַ֖גְתָּ אֶת־הַמִּצְרִ֑י
the,to,kill,me you(ms) intending just=as killed DOM the,Egyptian
The man used a question here to be sarcastic. Alternate translation: “We know that you killed an Egyptian yesterday. You had better not kill me!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הַלְהָרְגֵ֨נִי֙ אַתָּ֣ה אֹמֵ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָרַ֖גְתָּ אֶת־הַמִּצְרִ֑י
the,to,kill,me you(ms) intending just=as killed DOM the,Egyptian
Again, the man asks a question that is intended to make a statement. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Do you think you could kill me without anyone finding out? We know what you did to the Egyptian”
הַלְהָרְגֵ֨נִי֙ אַתָּ֣ה אֹמֵ֔ר
the,to,kill,me you(ms) intending
Alternate translation: “Are you planning to kill me” or “Are you threatening to kill me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / aside
וַיֹּאמַ֔ר
and,thought
Certainly the thing is known was likely something Moses said to himself, that is, he thought it to himself rather than speaking to the men in front of him. If this would be confusing in your language, you might introduce it as a thought. Alternate translation: “and thought”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וַיֹּאמַ֔ר אָכֵ֖ן נוֹדַ֥ע הַדָּבָֽר
and,thought surely known the,thing
It may be clearer to present what was likely a thought Moses had as an indirect quotation. Alternative translation (as indirect quotation): “because he thought that everyone knew what he had done”
2:14 The arrogant response of the Hebrew man, “Who appointed you to be our prince and judge?” foreshadows how the rest of the Hebrews would respond to Moses in later years—they would not thank him for his efforts on their behalf. If Moses were to succeed, he would have to depend solely on a sense of his divine calling.

OET (OET-RV) “Who made you the ruler and judge over us?” the man replied. “Are you planning to kill me like you killed that Egyptian?” Then Mosheh was afraid because he realised that what he’d done had probably become widely known.
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.
