OET (OET-RV) “Get going,” Deborah told Barak, “because it’s today that Yahweh has gone ahead of you and will help you defeat Sisera.” So Barak led his ten thousand warriors down from Mt. Tabor.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ק֗וּם
go
Deborah is using the expression Arise to tell Barak to take action and lead his army against Sisera’s army. She is not telling him to get out of bed or stand up from a seated position. Alternate translation: “Get going”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־סִֽיסְרָא֙ בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ
he/it_gave YHWH DOM Şīşərāʼ in/on/at/with,hand,your
To emphasize the certainty of Barak winning this battle, Deborah is speaking as if Yahweh has already given Barak victory over Sisera. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use the future tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “Yahweh is going to give Sisera into your hand” or “Yahweh is going to give you the power to conquer Sisera”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲלֹ֥א יְהוָ֖ה יָצָ֣א לְפָנֶ֑יךָ
?,not YHWH he/it_went_forth to=your=face
Deborah is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Yahweh has already gone out ahead of you!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לְפָנֶ֑יךָ
to=your=face
See the discussion of this phrase in the General Introduction to Judges. Alternate translation: “ahead of you”
4:14-16 Mount Tabor, with its forest cover, was a strategic location, and the rush down the hill must have surprised the unsuspecting Canaanites. The battle was won, however, because it was the Lord’s war, not because of human strategy and tactics.
• Nothing is said here about why the chariots were so ineffective; this awaits the poetic version of the account (5:21).

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.
