OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said Yiftāḩ to_elders of_Gilˊād not you_all did_you_all_hate DOM_me and_drive_me from_house father’s_my and_why have_you_all_come to_me now just_as it_is_distress to_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) “Don’t you all hate me? Yiftah asked them. “Didn’t you yourselves drive me out of my father’s house? So why have you all come to me now when you have troubles?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲלֹ֤א אַתֶּם֙ שְׂנֵאתֶ֣ם אוֹתִ֔י וַתְּגָרְשׁ֖וּנִי מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑י
?,not you_all hate DOM,me and,drive,me from,house father's,my
Jephthah is 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: “It is clear that hate me, since you drove me from the house of my father!”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
הֲלֹ֤א אַתֶּם֙ שְׂנֵאתֶ֣ם אוֹתִ֔י וַתְּגָרְשׁ֖וּנִי מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑י
?,not you_all hate DOM,me and,drive,me from,house father's,my
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “You drove me from the house of my father, and that shows that you hate me!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַתְּגָרְשׁ֖וּנִי מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑י
and,drive,me from,house father's,my
It was Jephthah’s half-brothers, not the elders of Gilead, who drove him from the house of his father. Jephthah may mean that the elders were implicated in this action because they did nothing to help him. Alternate translation: “since you did nothing to help me when my brothers drove me from the house of my father”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑י
from,house father's,my
See how you translated the similar expression in 11:2. Alternate translation: “from my family”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמַדּ֜וּעַ בָּאתֶ֤ם אֵלַי֙ עַ֔תָּה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צַ֥ר לָכֶֽם
and,why come to=me now just=as in_trouble to,you_all
Jephthah is 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. The UST models one way to do this.
11:7-8 When Jephthah challenged the offer, the elders returned to the stronger word, ruler.

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.
