OET (OET-LV) And_ Yaˊₐqoⱱ _he/it_said to Shimˊōn and_near/to Lēvīh you_all_have_troubled DOM_me by_making_odious_me in/on/at/with_inhabitants_of the_earth/land in/on/at/with_Kənaˊₐnī and_in/on/at/with_Pərizzī and_my am_men_of number and_gather against_me and_attack_me and_destroyed I and_household_of_my.
OET (OET-RV) Afterwards, Yacob scolded Simeon and Levi, saying, “You two have made trouble for me by destroying my reputation with those who live in the land—the Canaanites and the Perizzites. There’s only a few of us, and if they gather together to attack me and my household, then we’ll be destroyed—me and all my household.”
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶל־שִׁמְע֣וֹן וְאֶל־לֵוִי֮
and=he/it_said Yaakob to/towards Shimon and=near/to Lēvīh
Alternate translation: [Later when they came home, Jacob scolded Simeon and Levi by saying]
עֲכַרְתֶּ֣ם אֹתִי֒
brought_trouble DOM=me
Alternate translation: [You have caused me serious problems] or [You have put me in great danger]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְהַבְאִישֵׁ֨נִי֙ בְּיֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י וּבַפְּרִזִּ֑י
by,making_~_odious,me in/on/at/with,inhabitants_of the=earth/land in/on/at/with,Canaanites and,in/on/at/with,Perizzites
The idiom making me stink means Jacob’s sons had caused him to have a very bad reputation, so that people would hate him and his family. Some languages have a similar idiom that fits well here. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated the Canaanites and the Perizzites in Gen 13:7; 15:20-21. There were other people groups also living in the land, but these two groups are the ones being emphasized here. Alternate translation: [by causing the people who live in this land to despise us, including the Canaanites and Perizzites!] or [by causing the Canaanites and Perizzites who live in this land to hate me]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַאֲנִי֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר
and,my few_of number
The words “I,” “me,” and my refer in this verse to all of Jacob’s family; he uses these pronouns because he is the leader of his family. Alternate translation: [We only have a few men to defend us]
וְנֶאֶסְפ֤וּ עָלַי֙ וְהִכּ֔וּנִי
and,gather against,me and,attack,me
Make sure your use of the pronouns me or “us” fits with the way you translate the rest of this sentence. Alternate translation: [so if they all join forces against me and attack me]
וְנִשְׁמַדְתִּ֖י אֲנִ֥י וּבֵיתִֽי
and,destroyed I and,household_of,my
Alternate translation: [then I and my family will be killed!] or [they will kill us and the rest of my household!]
34:30 Jacob responded again out of fear of what would happen to him, but God caused the people of this land to fear him instead (35:5).

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.
