Consider what is the best way to begin this verse in your translation after what Hagar said in verse 8. Alternate translation: [The angel told Hagar]
שׁ֖וּבִי אֶל־גְּבִרְתֵּ֑ךְ
return to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/for=her/it messenger_of YHWH return to/towards mistress_of,your and,humble_yourself below/instead_of hands_of,her )
See how you translated mistress in verses 4 and 8. Alternate translation: [Go back to your owner]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/for=her/it messenger_of YHWH return to/towards mistress_of,your and,humble_yourself below/instead_of hands_of,her )
The angel is using under her hands as a common expression of this culture to mean “under her authority.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated a similar idiom in your hand in verse 6. Alternate translation: [and humbly submit yourself to her authority]
OET-LV And_he/it_said to/for_her/it the_messenger_of YHWH return to mistress_of_your and_humble_yourself under hands_of_her.
OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh’s messenger instructed her, “Return to your mistress and do whatever she tells you,”
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.
