וַיַּ֣עַל יְהוּדָ֔ה
and=he/it_ascended Yehuda
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here the author is using the name of one of the tribes whose soldiers were in this army to mean the entire army, which included soldiers from both tribes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And the army of the tribe of Judah went up with the army of the tribe of Simeon”

וַיִּתֵּ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־הַכְּנַעֲנִ֥י וְהַפְּרִזִּ֖י בְּיָדָ֑ם
and=he/it_gave YHWH DOM the=Kenaani and,the,Perizzites in/on/at/with,hand,their
Here, as the General Introduction to Judges discusses, hand represents the power or capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and Yahweh gave them the power to conquer the Canaanites and the Perizzites”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיַּכּ֣וּם בְּבֶ֔זֶק
and,defeated,them in/on/at/with,Bezek
As the General Introduction to Judges discusses, when the author says that the armies of Judah and Simeon struck or hit the Canaanite and Perizzite soldiers who opposed them, he means that they defeated them and, in contexts such as this, that they killed them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “And at Bezek they defeated” or “And at Bezek they killed”

Note 5 topic: translate-numbers

ten thousand
The author may be using the number 10,000 as an approximation or as a customary way of saying “very many.” Alternate translation: “a large number of”

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.
