49:8 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ Yehuda, you’ll be praised by your brothers.
⇔ You’ll be a powerful force against your enemies.
⇔ Your father’s sons will bow down to you.
יְהוּדָ֗ה אַתָּה֙ יוֹד֣וּךָ אַחֶ֔יךָ
Yehuda you(ms) praise,you brothers,your
In the Hebrew text, the pronoun you is emphatic, and it has an emphatic position in the sentence. Consider what is the best way to communicate that emphasis in your language. Alternate translation: “Judah, you are the one whom your brothers will praise.” or “Judah, you and your descendants will be highly praised by your brothers and their descendants.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יָדְךָ֖ בְּעֹ֣רֶף
hand,your in/on/at/with,neck
Consider what is the best way to translate this Hebrew idiom in your language. Also, if your translation includes Judah’s descendants in the previous sentence, make sure that the pronouns your and you are plural in this sentence. Alternate translation: “You will be victorious over” or “You will defeat”
אֹיְבֶ֑יךָ
enemies,your
Alternate translation: “those who are against you.” or “your adversaries.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
בְּנֵ֥י אָבִֽיךָ
sons_of I_will_show=you(ms)
Make sure that your translation of your father refers to Jacob. Alternate translation: “Your brothers”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
יִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּ לְךָ֖
bow_down to/for=yourself(m)
Consider again how you translated bow down in the book of Genesis. See Gen 18:2; 19:1; 22:5; 23:7, 12; 24:26, 48, 52; 27:29; 33:3, 6-7; 37:7, 9-10; 42:6; 43:26, 28; 47:31; 48:12; 49:8. Also see how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 17:3, 17. Alternate translation: “and their descendants will bow themselves before you and your descendants in submission.”
49:1-28 Jacob, by faith and as God’s spokesman, looked forward to Israel’s settlement in the land, and beyond that to the glorious future. Here at the end of the patriarchal age, he foretold what would happen to each tribe as he evaluated his sons one by one, just as Noah had done at the end of the primeval era (cp. 9:25-27). The character and acts of each ancestor affected the lives of his descendants (Exod 20:5-6; 34:6-7; Num 14:18; Jer 32:18).

⇔ You’ll be a powerful force against your enemies.
⇔ Your father’s sons will bow down to you.
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.
