OET (OET-RV) “Listen, I’m about to leave now,” Mosheh responded, “and I’ll pray to Yahweh and he’ll withdraw the swarm from Far’oh tomorrow, and from his servants and his people. But may Far’oh not be dishonest again and fail to let our people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
הִנֵּ֨ה
(hinnēh)
Behold is a term meant to focus the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. If there is not a good way to translate this term in your language, this term can be omitted from the translation. Alternate translation: “Know this”
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
הֶעָרֹ֗ב
(heˊāroⱱ)
These are probably the common large flies that bother humans and livestock. See how you translated this in 8:21
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
מִפַּרְעֹ֛ה & פַּרְעֹה֙
(miparˊoh & parˊoh)
Moses may be using the third person to refer to Pharaoh to show respect, because the king appears to be relenting. If use of the third person is not a way of showing respect in your culture or is not a valid way of addressing an individual at all, you may need to change the form. Alternate translation: “from you … you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
מִפַּרְעֹ֛ה מֵעֲבָדָ֥יו וּמֵעַמּ֖וֹ
(miparˊoh mēˊₐⱱādāyv ūmēˊammō)
This list means “from everywhere and everyone” (in Egypt). This shows that the end of the plague will be as complete as its extent. You should translate the list in such a way that it does not convey limitation to these specifics but is understood to imply universality.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
אַל־יֹסֵ֤ף פַּרְעֹה֙ הָתֵ֔ל לְבִלְתִּי֙ שַׁלַּ֣ח אֶת־הָעָ֔ם
(ʼal-yoşēf parˊoh hātēl ləⱱilttī shallaḩ ʼet-hāˊām)
If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “you must begin to deal truthfully with us and let our people go”
רַ֗ק אַל־יֹסֵ֤ף פַּרְעֹה֙ הָתֵ֔ל
(raq ʼal-yoşēf parˊoh hātēl)
Alternate translation: “But you must not deceive us” or “But you must not lie to us”
8:20-32 The fourth plague was the plague of flies. The Egyptians worshiped insects such as flies that seemed to be able to turn death into life, as their young seemed to emerge from decaying matter. If the Egyptians thought that insects had the secret of life, God would let them have all the insects they wanted. Some say that this infestation was the natural result of all the dead frogs, but there were no flies in Goshen (8:22), the northeastern delta area where the Hebrews lived. God’s miraculous power was clearly seen in his ability to infest one area while sparing another at will.

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