if again/more the=day (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said if again/more the=day big/great not time_of gathered the,livestock water the,sheep and,go Rəˊū )

This is an idiom that means there are still many more hours of daytime left. Consider whether your language has an idiom for this. Alternate translation: [Look, it is still the middle of the day] or [Look, the sun is still high in the sky] or [There is still a lot of daylight left]

לֹא־עֵ֖ת הֵאָסֵ֣ף הַ⁠מִּקְנֶ֑ה

הַשְׁק֥וּ הַ⁠צֹּ֖אן

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said if again/more the=day big/great not time_of gathered the,livestock water the,sheep and,go Rəˊū )

For some languages it sounds too rude for Jacob to make a direct command here, so it is better to make this a suggestion or even a rhetorical question. Alternate translation: [You ought to get water for them] or [It seems like you should water your sheep] or [So why not water your sheep]

וּ⁠לְכ֥וּ רְעֽוּ

and,go Rəˊū

Alternate translation: [then take them back out to the fields to graze some more] or [then you can take them out to eat more grass]
