OET-LV And_he/it_said to_him/it YHWH if/because I_will_be with_you and_you_will_defeat DOM Midyān like_a_man one.
OET (OET-RV) “I’ll help you,” said Yahweh, “and you’ll strike down all the Midyanites as easily as battling just one man.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
כִּ֥י אֶהְיֶ֖ה עִמָּ֑ךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it YHWH that/for/because/then/when be with,you and,you_will_defeat DOM Midyān like,a_man one(ms) )
Yahweh 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. Yahweh is implicitly answering Gideon’s question in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [You will be able to save Israel because I will be with you]

אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן כְּאִ֥ישׁ אֶחָֽד
DOM Midyān (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it YHWH that/for/because/then/when be with,you and,you_will_defeat DOM Midyān like,a_man one(ms) )
This is a common expression that refers to an entire group gathered together, as the similar uses in 20:1, 20:8, 20:11, and Nehemiah 8:1 show. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the entire army of Midian at once]
