OET (OET-LV) And_they_said to_him/it the_descendants_of Dān do_not make_heard voice_of_your among_us lest they_should_fall in/on/at/with_you_all men bitter_of self and_lose life_of_your and_lives_of household_of_your.
OET (OET-RV) “I wouldn’t say too much if I was you,” he was told. “Otherwise some of our more fiery men might start to get a bit hostile, then you’d bring about your own death, and that of your companions!”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אַל תַּשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלְךָ֖ עִמָּ֑נוּ
not heard voice_of,your among,us
The Danites are using the term voice by association to mean speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [You should not say anything more to us]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲנָשִׁים֙ מָ֣רֵי נֶ֔פֶשׁ
men ones_hot_of creature
The Danites are speaking as if these men actually had souls that were bitter. They mean that these men were easily provoked to violence. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [violent men]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְאָסַפְתָּ֥ה נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ
and,lose life_of,your and,lives_of household_of,your
The Danites are using a common expression of their culture to mean that Micah and the people of his household would lose their lives. (While the first instance of soul in this verse refers to the character of the Danite men, in these further instances soul means “life.”) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you lose your life and the life of your house]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / collective
וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ
and,lives_of household_of,your
The Danites are using the singular term soul to mean the lives of all the members of Micah’s household. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a plural form. Alternate translation: [and the lives of your household members who are here]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ
and,lives_of household_of,your
The Danites are using the term house by association to mean household. The context suggests that many of Micah’s household members, both family and servants, were among the men he gathered to pursue the Danites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and the life of your household]
18:25 short-tempered (literally bitter of soul; “in deep anguish,” 1 Sam 1:10; “discontented,” 1 Sam 22:2; “enraged,” 2 Sam 17:8): This term describes those whose bitter disappointment with life has made their actions unpredictable.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
