Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
when the men of Israel retreated from the battle
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turn (a)_man Yisrael in/on/at/with,battle and,Benjamin he/it_began to,inflict casualties in/on/at/with,men Yisrael about,thirty (a)_man that/for/because/then/when said surely defeated defeated he/it before,face/front,us as_the,battle the,first )
If you retained the direct quotation in the previous verse, you could continue it here. Alternate translation: “once we have drawn the Benjaminite soldiers away from the city and you have entered it and captured it”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
when the men of Israel retreated from the battle
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turn (a)_man Yisrael in/on/at/with,battle and,Benjamin he/it_began to,inflict casualties in/on/at/with,men Yisrael about,thirty (a)_man that/for/because/then/when said surely defeated defeated he/it before,face/front,us as_the,battle the,first )
If you changed the quotation in the previous verse to an indirect quotation, you can supply some further words here from the context if that would be clearer in your language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “The ambush was to do that once they had captured the city after the men of Israel had retreated from the battle and drawn the Benjaminite soldiers away”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
they said
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turn (a)_man Yisrael in/on/at/with,battle and,Benjamin he/it_began to,inflict casualties in/on/at/with,men Yisrael about,thirty (a)_man that/for/because/then/when said surely defeated defeated he/it before,face/front,us as_the,battle the,first )
The pronoun they refers to the Benjaminites. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the Benjaminites said”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
being beaten, he {is} being beaten
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turn (a)_man Yisrael in/on/at/with,battle and,Benjamin he/it_began to,inflict casualties in/on/at/with,men Yisrael about,thirty (a)_man that/for/because/then/when said surely defeated defeated he/it before,face/front,us as_the,battle the,first )
The Benjaminites are repeating the verb beaten in order to intensify their expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: “they are being completely beaten”
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
being beaten, he {is} being beaten
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turn (a)_man Yisrael in/on/at/with,battle and,Benjamin he/it_began to,inflict casualties in/on/at/with,men Yisrael about,thirty (a)_man that/for/because/then/when said surely defeated defeated he/it before,face/front,us as_the,battle the,first )
The pronoun he refers to the men of Israel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the men of Israel are being completely beaten”
Note 6 topic: translate-ordinal
as {in} the first battle
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turn (a)_man Yisrael in/on/at/with,battle and,Benjamin he/it_began to,inflict casualties in/on/at/with,men Yisrael about,thirty (a)_man that/for/because/then/when said surely defeated defeated he/it before,face/front,us as_the,battle the,first )
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “as in battle one” or “as in the earlier battle”
20:29-44 The third day’s battle followed the same strategies of deception and ambush that were used to conquer Ai (Josh 8:1-29).

OET (OET-RV) Meanwhile the main Israeli force had retreated, and the Benyamites had attacked and killed around thirty men, thinking that they were winning like they’d done twice before.
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.
