Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְאִ֤ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הָפַ֔ךְ
and,men_of Yisrael turned
The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean that each the Israelite soldiers turned around to face the Benjaminites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And each the Israelite soldiers turned around]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאִ֤ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הָפַ֔ךְ
and,men_of Yisrael turned
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And each the Israelite soldiers turned around to attck the Benjaminites]
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַיִּבָּהֵ֖ל אִ֣ישׁ בִּנְיָמִ֑ן כִּ֣י רָאָ֔ה כִּֽי נָגְעָ֥ה עָלָ֖יו הָרָעָֽה
and,dismayed (a)_man Binyāmīn that/for/because/then/when saw that/for/because/then/when close on/upon/above=him/it the,disaster
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [and because he saw that harm had touched upon him, a man of Benjamin was alarmed]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּבָּהֵ֖ל אִ֣ישׁ בִּנְיָמִ֑ן
and,dismayed (a)_man Binyāmīn
The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean that each of the Benjaminite soldiers was alarmed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and each the Benjaminite soldiers was alarmed] or [and all of the Benjaminite soldiers were alarmed]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיִּבָּהֵ֖ל אִ֣ישׁ בִּנְיָמִ֑ן
and,dismayed (a)_man Binyāmīn
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and this alarmed each of the Benjaminite soldiers] or [and this alarmed all of the Benjaminite soldiers]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
רָאָ֔ה כִּֽי נָגְעָ֥ה עָלָ֖יו הָרָעָֽה
saw that/for/because/then/when close on/upon/above=him/it the,disaster
See how you translated this expression in 20:34. Alternate translation: [each one realized that he was about to be destroyed] or [they realized that they were about to be destroyed]
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-LV) And_men_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) he_turned and_ the_man_of _dismayed of_Binyāmīn if/because he_saw if/because_that it_had_touched on/upon/above_him/it the_disaster.

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.
