OET (OET-RV) So now, how could I possibly go home to my father if that young man isn’t with me? I wouldn’t be able to cope with my father’s misery.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
כִּי אֵיךְ֙ אֶֽעֱלֶ֣ה
that/for/because/then/when how go_back
Judah uses this rhetorical question to emphasize how difficult it would be for him to return to his father without his brother. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: “I could never”
אֶֽעֱלֶ֣ה אֶל אָבִ֔י
go_back to/towards father,my
Consider again how you translated “… up” in verses 17, 24, 33-34. Contrast that to how you translated “… down” in verses 21, 23, and 26. Some translations leave up or “down” implied. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “return home to my father”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
וְהַנַּ֖עַר אֵינֶ֣נּוּ אִתִּ֑י
and,the,boy not,he with,me
Alternate translation: “if our youngest brother is not with me!”
פֶּ֚ן אֶרְאֶ֣ה
lest see
Alternate translation: “I do not want to see”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
בָרָ֔ע אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִמְצָ֖א אֶת אָבִֽי
in/on/at/with,misery which/who come_upon DOM father,my
See how you translated misery in verse 29. Alternate translation: “the terrible grief that it would cause my father!” or “how much my father would grieve!”
44:1-34 The brothers appeared to have changed; they had shown remorse over what they had done to Joseph, and they showed integrity in returning the money and in bringing Benjamin. Given a chance to get rid of Rachel’s other son, Benjamin, would they do it?

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.
