OET (OET-RV) “I’m Yosef!” he told his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” But his brothers weren’t able to answer him because they were terrified there in front of him.
Note 1 topic: translate-kinship
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יוֹסֵ֤ף אֶל אֶחָיו֙
and=he/it_said Yōşēf to/towards brothers,his
In this chapter, the word brothers refers to Joseph’s older brothers (from different mothers) and his younger brother (from the same mother). Alternate translation: “Then Joseph exclaimed to his brothers in their language,”
אֲנִ֣י יוֹסֵ֔ף
I Yōşēf
Alternate translation: “I am Joseph, your brother!”
הַע֥וֹד אָבִ֖י חָ֑י
?,still father,my living_(creature)
Joseph uses my father to emphasize his relationship with his father. Make sure your translation does not sound like he had a different father than his brothers. Alternate translation: “Is our father still alive?”
וְלֹֽא יָכְל֤וּ אֶחָיו֙ לַעֲנ֣וֹת אֹת֔וֹ
and=not could brothers,his to,answer DOM=him/it
Alternate translation: “His brothers could not say a word,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
כִּ֥י נִבְהֲל֖וּ מִפָּנָֽיו
that/for/because/then/when dismayed at,presence,his
For some languages it is necessary to put this clause earlier in this sentence and say, “But his brothers were so terrified to see him that they could not answer him.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because they were shocked to realize that they were in his presence.”
45:3 The brothers were stunned at the news, unable to speak from amazement and fear (45:5; cp. 50:15).

OET (OET-RV) “I’m Yosef!” he told his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” But his brothers weren’t able to answer him because they were terrified there in front of him.
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.
