OET (OET-LV)And_he/it_said to_them pursue after_me if/because he_has_given YHWH DOM enemies_your_all’s DOM Mōʼāⱱ in/on/at/with_hand_your_all’s and_went_down after_him and_seized DOM the_fords the_Yardēn/(Jordan) against_Mōʼāⱱ and_not they_permitted anyone to_cross_over.

OET (OET-RV)“Follow after me,” he told them, “because Yahweh will enable you all to defeat your enemies, the Moabites.” So they followed him down to the Yordan river and captured the fords opposite Moab, thus preventing anyone from crossing.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵ⁠הֶם֙ רִדְפ֣וּ אַחֲרַ֔⁠י כִּֽי־נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֧ה אֶת־אֹיְבֵי⁠כֶ֛ם אֶת־מוֹאָ֖ב בְּ⁠יֶדְ⁠כֶ֑ם

and=he/it_said to,them follow after,me that/for/because/then/when he/it_gave YHWH DOM enemies,your_all's DOM Mōʼāⱱites in/on/at/with,hand,your_all's

The author is providing background information that will help readers understand what is happening in the story. In the previous verse, the author described how “the sons of Israel went down with” Ehud “from the hill country.” This sentence explains that they had the courage to do that because Ehud had announced that Yahweh had promised them victory. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: translate-versebridge

You could also create a verse bridge and combine verses 27 and 28 so that the background information comes within the flow of the narrative. It might say something like this: “Now it happened at his coming that he blew on the shofar in the hill country of Ephraim. And he said to them, ‘Follow after me, for Yahweh has given your enemies, Moab, into your hand.’ Then the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was to the face of them. They captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Moab, and they did not allow anyone to cross over.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

אֶת־אֹיְבֵי⁠כֶ֛ם & בְּ⁠יֶדְ⁠כֶ֑ם

DOM enemies,your_all's & in/on/at/with,hand,your_all's

The word your is plural in these instances because Ehud is addressing the Israelites, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. (Because your is plural, it may be more natural in your language to say “hands” rather than hand.)

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יֶדְ⁠כֶ֑ם

in/on/at/with,hand,your_all's

Here, hand represents the power of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for Yahweh has given you the power to conquer your enemies, Moab”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־מוֹאָ֖ב

DOM DOM Mōʼāⱱites

The author is using the name Moab by association to mean the people of Moab and specifically their army. Alternate translation: “the Moabite army”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:12-30 In this epic account of intrigue and cunning, Ehud manifested heroic qualities when a coalition of nations from east of the Jordan penetrated the hill country of Ephraim and Benjamin. The cycle follows formulaic language and highlights the repeated apostasy of the people once again.

OET (OET-RV)“Follow after me,” he told them, “because Yahweh will enable you all to defeat your enemies, the Moabites.” So they followed him down to the Yordan river and captured the fords opposite Moab, thus preventing anyone from crossing.

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.
