Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֵצֵ֜א מִדַּלְתֵ֤י בֵיתִי֙ לִקְרָאתִ֔י
which/who comes_out of,doors house,my to,meet,me
Jephthah is using one part of his house, its doors, to mean all of the house as a place for human habitation. In other words, he is specifying a person, rather than an animal that might come from a field or a stall. (See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of how wrong Jephthah was to offer a human sacrifice and for what purpose the author includes this account in the book of Judges.) Alternate translation: “the first member of my household who comes out to greet me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְשָׁל֖וֹם
in/on/at/with,peace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “peacefully”
11:31 Nowhere does the Lord demand such bargaining for his favor. Vows were made under a variety of circumstances and usually involved some gift (offering) dedicated to the Lord in response to his aid (cp. Gen 28:20-22). The more common preparation for battle was priestly sacrifice (1 Sam 13:8-12). Jephthah’s vow created the possibility that some person in his household would become a human sacrifice, an act strictly forbidden in Israelite law (Deut 18:10).

OET (OET-RV) then whoever’s the first person to come out of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the battle against the Ammonites, that person will belong to Yahweh, and I will offer him up as a whole burnt offering.”
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.
