OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_him/it pardon_me my_master in/on/at/with_how will_I_deliver DOM Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) here clan_my the_weakest in/on/at/with_Mənashsheh and_I the_youngest in_house_of father’s_my.
OET (OET-RV) “Please, my master,” Gideon replied, “how could I save Israel? Look, my clan is the weakest in Manashsheh and on top of that, I’m the youngest in my family.”
Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
בִּ֣י אֲדֹנָ֔י
please my=master
See how you translated this same phrase in 6:13.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
בַּמָּ֥ה אוֹשִׁ֖יעַ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
in/on/at/with,how deliver DOM Yisrael
Gideon seems to be using the question form for emphasis rather than to ask for information, since in the rest of the verse he gives reasons why he cannot do what Yahweh is telling him to do. 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: “there is no means by which I can save Israel!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הִנֵּ֤ה
see/lo/see!
As the General Introduction to Judges discusses, Gideon is using the word Behold to call attention to what he is about to say. Alternate translation: “Listen”
Note 4 topic: translate-numbers
אַלְפִּי֙
clan,my
Here the term thousand probably refers not to that number of people but to a part of a tribe. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “my clan”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
הַדַּ֣ל בִּמְנַשֶּׁ֔ה וְאָנֹכִ֥י הַצָּעִ֖יר
the,weakest in/on/at/with,Manasseh and,I the,youngest
Gideon is using the adjectives weak and young as nouns. The ULT shows this by adding the word one in each case. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these adjectives with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “is the weakest clan in Manasseh, and I am the youngest son”
6:15 Gideon’s personal and clan status was itself insufficient to muster troops.
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_him/it pardon_me my_master in/on/at/with_how will_I_deliver DOM Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) here clan_my the_weakest in/on/at/with_Mənashsheh and_I the_youngest in_house_of father’s_my.
OET (OET-RV) “Please, my master,” Gideon replied, “how could I save Israel? Look, my clan is the weakest in Manashsheh and on top of that, I’m the youngest in my family.”
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.
