Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal
בַּיּ֣וֹם הָרְבִיעִ֔י
in_the=day the=fourth
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [on day four]
Note 2 topic: translate-kinship
חֲתָנ֗וֹ
son-in-law,his
Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: [the husband of his daughter]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
סְעָ֧ד לִבְּךָ֛
refresh heart,yourself
The father is using one part of his son-in-law, his heart, to mean all of him. The suggestion is that he would not only be strengthened physically by the food, he would also be cheered up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Refresh yourself]
Note 4 topic: writing-politeness
פַּת לֶ֖חֶם
a_bit_of food/grain/bread
The father is using the courteous language of hospitality. He is intentionally understating what he has to offer and what would be involved in entertaining his guests. You may be able to express this in terms of the hospitality conventions of your own language and culture. Alternate translation: [with a bite to eat]
19:5-7 Although some have suggested that the delay in leaving was analogous to Samson’s seven-day bridal feast (14:10-20), the picture may reflect nothing more than the father’s reluctance to bid his daughter farewell.

OET (OET-RV) Then on the fourth day, they got up early and the Levite prepared to leave, but his father-in-law urged him to eat before they left.
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.
