OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was when_saw_they DOM_him and_they_took thirty close_friends and_they_were with_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) When they saw him, they brought thirty close friends to join him.[fn]
14:11 Although we can understand the words here, we’re not certain of the implications, or perhaps the cultural traditions. Did Shimshon appear too alone? Too intimidating? Or was it just bringing more friends for good food and drink?
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
And it happened
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,saw,they DOM,him and=they_took thirty companions and=they_were with=him/it )
The author is using this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
in their seeing him
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,saw,they DOM,him and=they_took thirty companions and=they_were with=him/it )
The phrase in their seeing him could mean: (1) that the young Philistine men provided 30 companions for Samson when they saw that he had not brought a bridegroom’s party with him. Alternate translation: “when they saw that he had not brought a bridegroom’s party with him” (2) that they did this for their own safety when they saw how strong and powerful Samson was. Alternate translation: “when they saw how strong and powerful he was”
Note 3 topic: translate-kinship
that they took 30 companions, and they were with him
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,saw,they DOM,him and=they_took thirty companions and=they_were with=him/it )
Your language may have its own term or expression for the relationship between a man who is getting married and the other men who accompany him. Alternate translation: “that they provided 30 of their own young men to be his bridegroom’s party”
14:11 The reason for thirty . . . companions is not clear (cp. 2 Sam 23:13). Companions, a word that normally means “friends,” may lend a touch of irony here (Judg 14:12-20).

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.
