OET (OET-LV) And_father_his and_mother_him not they_knew if/because_that from_LORD it if/because an_occasion he [was]_seeking against_Fəlishəttiy and_in/on/at/with_time the_that [the]_Fəlishəttiy [were]_ruling in/on/at/with_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
OET (OET-RV) Now his parents didn’t know that Yahweh was arranging this, because he was seeking an opportunity against the Philistines who were oppressing Israel at that time.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
But his father and his mother did not know that it {was} from Yahweh, for he {was} seeking an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines {were} ruling over Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and,father,his and,mother,him not know that/for/because/then/when from,LORD she/it that/for/because/then/when occasion he/it seeking against,Philistines and,in/on/at/with,time the,that Pelishtim ruling in/on/at/with,Israel )
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: “Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel, and Yahweh was seeking an occasion against them. That was why this happened. But his father and mother did not realize that.”
Note 2 topic: writing-background
For at that time the Philistines {were} ruling over Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and,father,his and,mother,him not know that/for/because/then/when from,LORD she/it that/for/because/then/when occasion he/it seeking against,Philistines and,in/on/at/with,time the,that Pelishtim ruling in/on/at/with,Israel )
The author is providing background information that will help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

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.
