OET (OET-RV) “Will you really reign over us?” his brothers retorted. “Do you think you’ll really rule over us?” So they continued to hate him even more because of his dreams and because of what he said.
וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לוֹ֙ אֶחָ֔יו
and=they_said to=him/it brothers,his
Alternate translation: “His brothers retorted angrily,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲמָלֹ֤ךְ
?,to_reign
The brothers use two rhetorical questions in this verse to express their disagreement with Joseph and to emphasize that they are not happy with him. Do what is best in your language.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
תִּמְלֹךְ֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ
reign over,us
For languages that mark inclusive and exclusive pronouns, us excludes Joseph in this sentence. Alternate translation: “reign over us!”
וַיּוֹסִ֤פוּ עוֹד֙ שְׂנֹ֣א אֹת֔וֹ
and,they_increased again/more hated DOM=him/it
Consider again how you translated hate in the book of Genesis. See Gen 24:60; 26:27; 29:31, 33; 37:4-5, 8. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “So they despised him even more strongly than they did before”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
עַל חֲלֹמֹתָ֖יו וְעַל דְּבָרָֽיו
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=dreams and,for words,his
For some languages, it is more natural to switch the order of clauses in this sentence and say, “So because of what he/Joseph had told them about his dreams, his brothers hated him even more strongly/intensely than they did before.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “for his dreams and for what he told them about the dreams.”
37:8 The brothers’ angry response to the revelation, in contrast to Joseph’s honesty and faithfulness, clearly demonstrates why they were not chosen for leadership: Leaders in God’s plan cannot be consumed with jealousy and hatred. In their anger, they missed an important part of the revelation—they too would be rulers (stars, 37:9) who would productively bind their sheaves (37:7).

OET (OET-RV) “Will you really reign over us?” his brothers retorted. “Do you think you’ll really rule over us?” So they continued to hate him even more because of his dreams and because of what he said.
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.
