OET (OET-RV) In due course Yacob’s sons came home from the fields. When they heard what had happened, then they were very angry and upset, because Shekem had done something disgraceful to Yisra’el by taking advantage of Yacob’s daughter. Something like that should never have happened.
כְּשָׁמְעָ֔ם
when,heard,they
Many translations put “when they heard” with the previous sentence. However, unless someone else told Jacob’s sons the news of what happened, that interpretation contradicts verse 5, which says that Jacob kept quiet about it until his sons got home. Alternate translation: “When they heard that Shechem had raped their sister,”
וַיִּֽתְעַצְּבוּ֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים
and,indignant the,men
See how you translated grieved in Gen 6:6. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “they were very shocked”

וַיִּ֥חַר לָהֶ֖ם מְאֹ֑ד
and=it_glowed/burned to/for=them very
See how you translated the idiom “it/anger burned within …” in Gen 32:36. Alternate translation: “and filled with anger,”
כִּֽי נְבָלָ֞ה עָשָׂ֣ה בְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל
that/for/because/then/when disgraceful_thing he/it_had_made in/on/at/with,Israel
Notice in this verse that the Hebrew text has both of Jacob’s names, Jacob and “Israel,” to emphasize that Shechem had sinned against Jacob and all of his descendants (the people of Israel). You could put that information in a footnote. Make sure that your translation of Israel does not refer here to a place, since Israel was not yet a country or a territory. Alternate translation: “that Shechem had disgraced the family of Israel”
וְכֵ֖ן לֹ֥א יֵעָשֶֽׂה
and=thus/so/as_follows not done
Alternate translation: “Such a wicked thing should never be done by anyone!” or “No one should ever do such a wicked crime!”
34:1-31 Once Jacob and his family settled in the land, the Canaanite presence became a threat. This account is a stern warning to the Israelites about the possibility of their being defiled by the Canaanites. The nation of Israel was later commanded not to intermarry or make treaties with them, for they were a corrupt and corrupting people. This chapter implicitly warns against becoming familiar with the way they lived (34:1-2). It also taught Israel that in dealing with the Canaanites, they were to keep their integrity and not use the holy things of the covenant for deception and slaughter (34:13); Israel’s reputation was at stake in the land (34:30). For their ruthless violence, Simeon and Levi were passed over in the birthright blessing (49:5-7).

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.
