OET (OET-RV) But she asked her father, “Just do this one thing for me: release me for two months, so I can go away and take some companions. I’ll fall prostrate on the hills and I’ll weep because I’ll never have a chance to marry.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יֵעָ֥שֶׂה לִּ֖י הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה
done to/for=me the,thing the=this
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Please do this thing for me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְיָרַדְתִּ֣י עַל־הֶֽהָרִ֔ים
and,wander on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,mountains
As the General Introduction to Judges discusses, In Hebrew, writers and speakers generally indicated whether people were going up to a higher elevation or going down to a lower elevation when they traveled. The town of Mizpah was located at a high elevation, and Jephthah’s daughter is indicating that she would like to go down from there and wander the hills in the area. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and I will wander the hills in this area”

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.
