OET (OET-RV) I have the right and the ability to punish you, but last night your father’s God told me, ‘Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Yacob.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
יֶשׁ לְאֵ֣ל יָדִ֔י לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִמָּכֶ֖ם רָ֑ע
it_is in,great power_of,my for=doing to,you_all harm
The pronoun you is plural here, so it probably refers to Jacob and everyone in his household. Alternate translation: “I and my men have the ability to harm all of you,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וֵֽאלֹהֵ֨י אֲבִיכֶ֜ם אֶ֣מֶשׁ
and,God father,your_all's last_night
For some languages it may be more natural to put this time phrase later and say “ … said to me in a dream last night”. Do what is best in your language. See how you translated a similar phrase (“the God of my father”) in verse 5.

אָמַ֧ר אֵלַ֣י לֵאמֹ֗ר הִשָּׁ֧מֶר לְךָ֛ מִדַּבֵּ֥ר עִֽם יַעֲקֹ֖ב מִטּ֥וֹב עַד רָֽע
he/it_had_said to=me to=say careful to/for=yourself(m) from,say with Yaakob whether,good until bad
For some languages it is necessary to make this embedded quote an indirect quote. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated a similar quote in verse 24. Alternate translation: “warned me to not harm you in any way.”
31:25-30 The dispute between the two men used the language of legal controversies and lawsuits (see also 31:36). In his first argument, Laban presented himself as a wounded party that Jacob had robbed.

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.
