OET (OET-LV) And_wept the_wife of_Shimshōn on/upon/above_him/it and_she/it_said only hate_me and_not love_me the_riddle you_have_asked_the_riddle to_sons people_my and_to_me not you_have_told and_he/it_said to/for_her/it here to_father_my and_to_mother_my not I_have_told and_to_you will_I_tell.
OET (OET-RV) Then Shimshon’s wife put on a crying act and said, “You must hate me—you don’t love me because you’ve created a riddle for my relatives, yet you haven’t even told me the answer.”
¶ “Listen,” he replied, “I haven’t even told my own parents. Should I tell you?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
wept upon him
(Some words not found in UHB: and,wept wife_of Shimshōn's on/upon/above=him/it and=she/it_said only hate,me and=not love,me the,riddle told to,sons people,my and,to,me not explained and=he/it_said to/for=her/it see/lo/see! to,father,my and,to,mother,my not explained and,to,you explain )
While it is likely that Samson’s wife may have literally wept upon him, throwing herself on him, sobbing, so that her tears fell on him, this expression is speaking of her weeping as if it had literally been a burden that was heavy and wearying for Samson to carry. Alternate translation: “wore him out with her weeping”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
to the sons of my people
(Some words not found in UHB: and,wept wife_of Shimshōn's on/upon/above=him/it and=she/it_said only hate,me and=not love,me the,riddle told to,sons people,my and,to,me not explained and=he/it_said to/for=her/it see/lo/see! to,father,my and,to,mother,my not explained and,to,you explain )
See how you translated the similar expression “the daughters of the Philistines” in 14:1. The meaning of sons here does not seem to be as general as the use of that word to describe the members of a people group. Alternate translation: “to the young Philistine men at our wedding feast”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
so will I tell {it} to you?
(Some words not found in UHB: and,wept wife_of Shimshōn's on/upon/above=him/it and=she/it_said only hate,me and=not love,me the,riddle told to,sons people,my and,to,me not explained and=he/it_said to/for=her/it see/lo/see! to,father,my and,to,mother,my not explained and,to,you explain )
Samson 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: “So I certainly will not tell it to you!”
14:14-19 Israel’s hero, like Sisera, was defeated by a woman (4:21; see study note on 8:20-21).

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.
