OET (OET-RV) Now the men of Efraim were summoned and they passed northward and they said to Yiftah, “Why did you pass through in order to fight against the Ammonites, but you didn’t call us to go with you? We’re going to burn your house down over you!”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / collectivenouns
וַיִּצָּעֵק֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶפְרַ֔יִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֖ר
and,called (a)_man ʼEfrayim and,crossed
The phrase a man of Ephraim is referring to all the fighting men of the tribe of Ephraim, not just one man. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this meaning with a plural form. Alternate translation: [The men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed over]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיִּצָּעֵק֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶפְרַ֔יִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֖ר
and,called (a)_man ʼEfrayim and,crossed
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: [And the leaders of Ephraim summoned their men, and they crossed over]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֖ר
and,crossed
The author assumes that his readers will understand that the Ephraimites crossed over the Jordan River. Alternate translation: [and they crossed the Jordan River]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
צָפ֑וֹנָה
zaphon,to
The author is describing the Ephraimites’ travel from the perspective of their location. After crossing the Jordan River, they went northeast to Mizpah, where Jephthah was. Alternate translation: [and went to Mizpeh]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
בֵּיתְךָ֕ נִשְׂרֹ֥ף עָלֶ֖יךָ בָּאֵֽשׁ
house,your burn over,you in/on/at/with,fire
It might seem that the expression burn … with fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [We will burn down your house around you] or [We will set fire to your house with you in it]
12:1 Zaphon was just east of the Jordan River, across from the tribal area of Ephraim.

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.
