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 / metonymy
נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־סִֽיסְרָא֙ בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ
he/it_gave YHWH DOM Şīşərāʼ in/on/at/with,hand,your
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: “Yahweh has given you the power to conquer Sisera”
Note 3 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 4 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 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַעֲשֶׂ֧רֶת אֲלָפִ֛ים אִ֖ישׁ אַחֲרָֽיו
and,ten thousand (a)_man following,him
See how you translated the similar expression in 4:10. Alternate translation: “with 10,000 men under his command”
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).
OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said Dəbōrāh to Bārāq arise if/because this the_day which he_has_given YHWH DOM Şīşərāʼ in/on/at/with_hand_your not YHWH has_he_gone_out to_your_face and_he/it_descended Bārāq from_hill of_Tāⱱōr and_ten thousand(s) man following_him.

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.
