OET (OET-RV) Yahweh would speak to Mosheh face to face like someone speaks to their friend. Then Mosheh would return to the camp, but his servant Yehoshua (a young man who was the son of Nun) would not leave the inside of the tent.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
פָּנִ֣ים אֶל־פָּנִ֔ים
face to/towards face
Speaking directly to each other rather than through dreams and visions is spoken of as if Moses and God saw each other’s faces while they spoke. 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. Alternate translation: “Yahweh would speak directly to Moses”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יְדַבֵּ֥ר אִ֖ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֑הוּ
just=as speaks (a)_man to/towards his/its=neighbour
The metaphor of speaking face to face is explained by the simile here. How you translated face to face in your language may determine how you should translate this explanation.

and,assistant,his Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) son Nūn young
Joshua has been introduced before but not mentioned since Exodus 32:17. Consider if your language will need to re-introduce Joshua in any way here.
33:11 Just as Joshua had previously gained experience as a military leader (see 17:9-13), he was now gaining experience as a spiritual leader (see also 24:13). Here he may have remained behind to guard the tent, a function the Levites would later fulfill with the Tabernacle (1 Chr 26).

OET (OET-RV) Yahweh would speak to Mosheh face to face like someone speaks to their friend. Then Mosheh would return to the camp, but his servant Yehoshua (a young man who was the son of Nun) would not leave the inside of the tent.
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.
