כָּלְא֥וּ שָמַ֖יִם מִטָּ֑ל וְהָאָ֖רֶץ כָּלְאָ֥ה יְבוּלָֽהּ
withheld heavens from,dew and=the=earth withheld produce,its
Yahweh is speaking as if the heavens and the earth were living things that could actively withhold dew and produce from the Judeans. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “there is no dew from the heavens above you and there is no produce from the earth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם כָּלְא֥וּ שָמַ֖יִם מִטָּ֑ל
because_of,you_all withheld heavens from,dew
Yahweh is speaking as if dew fell from the heavens, that is, from the sky. He means implicitly that not only has rain not been falling from the sky, dew has not even been forming on the ground overnight. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “not only has it not been raining, dew has not even been forming,”
1:1-15 The first message calls the people of Jerusalem to focus on restoring proper worship of God.

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.
