If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “You have enabled your servant to do this great deed to help save your people”

בְיַֽד־עַבְדְּךָ֗
(Some words not found in UHB: and,was_~_thirsty very and=he/it_called to/towards YHWH and,said you(ms) given in/on/at/with,hand servant,your DOM the,victory the=big/large/great(fs) the,this and=now die in/on/at/with,thirst and,fall in/on/at/with,hands the,uncircumcised )
Samson is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “by my hand”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְעַתָּ֥ה אָמ֖וּת בַּצָּמָ֑א וְנָפַלְתִּ֖י בְּיַ֥ד הָעֲרֵלִֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,was_~_thirsty very and=he/it_called to/towards YHWH and,said you(ms) given in/on/at/with,hand servant,your DOM the,victory the=big/large/great(fs) the,this and=now die in/on/at/with,thirst and,fall in/on/at/with,hands the,uncircumcised )
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: “and now I do not want to die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised!”

הָעֲרֵלִֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,was_~_thirsty very and=he/it_called to/towards YHWH and,said you(ms) given in/on/at/with,hand servant,your DOM the,victory the=big/large/great(fs) the,this and=now die in/on/at/with,thirst and,fall in/on/at/with,hands the,uncircumcised )
Samson is using the word uncircumcised by association to mean the Philistines, who did not practice circumcision. Alternate translation: “of the Philistines”
15:18 Samson cried out to the Lord, as he feared dying of thirst and falling prey to the defeated pagans (literally uncircumcised ones; see study note on 14:3). Samson twice prayed deep and passionate prayers, once when he feared being attacked, and once when he was attacking others (16:28-30).

OET (OET-RV) Then he was very thirsty and cried out to Yahweh, “You yourself have given your servant this great victory, but now must I die with this thirst and get captured by those uncircumcised Philistines?”
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.
