OET-LV And_now YHWH the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) he_has_dispossessed DOM the_ʼAmorī from_face/in_front_of people_of_his Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_you(ms) will_you_take_possession_of_it.
OET (OET-RV) So since it was Yisrael’s god Yahweh that expelled the Amorim out of the presence of his people Yisrael, do you actually think that you can take it now?

וְעַתָּ֞ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now YHWH god_of Yisrael driven_out DOM the=ʼAmorī from=face/in_front_of people_of,his Yisrael and=you(ms) will,you_take_possession_of_it? )
The phrase translated as And now is an expression that was used in letters and messages of this time to introduce the main topic that the sender wished to address. If your language has a comparable expression that it uses for this same purpose, you can use it in your translation. If not, you do not have to translate this phrase explicitly; you can indicate in other ways that this is the main point that Jephthah wanted his messengers to make. Alternate translation: [Here is my main point:]

וְאַתָּ֖ה תִּירָשֶֽׁנּוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now YHWH god_of Yisrael driven_out DOM the=ʼAmorī from=face/in_front_of people_of,his Yisrael and=you(ms) will,you_take_possession_of_it? )
Jephthah’s messengers are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [So do not think that you can possess it!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
וְאַתָּ֖ה תִּירָשֶֽׁנּוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now YHWH god_of Yisrael driven_out DOM the=ʼAmorī from=face/in_front_of people_of,his Yisrael and=you(ms) will,you_take_possession_of_it? )
As in 11:19, the word you is singular here, and it is also singular for the rest of this speech (with one exception that these notes will indicate), because the messengers are addressing the Ammonite king. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
OET-LV And_now YHWH the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) he_has_dispossessed DOM the_ʼAmorī from_face/in_front_of people_of_his Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_you(ms) will_you_take_possession_of_it.
OET (OET-RV) So since it was Yisrael’s god Yahweh that expelled the Amorim out of the presence of his people Yisrael, do you actually think that you can take it now?
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.
