OET (OET-RV) God helped you all defeat Oreb and Zeeb, the princes of Midian. What did I do compared to that?” After he said that, they all calmed down again.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּיֶדְכֶם֩
in/on/at/with,hands,your_all's
See the discussion of this phrase in the General Introduction to Judges, and see how you translated the similar expression in 1:2.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמַה־יָּכֹ֖לְתִּי עֲשׂ֣וֹת כָּכֶ֑ם
and,what able to_make in_comparison_with,you_all
Gideon is using the question form for emphasis and to be persuasive without being confrontational. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for those purposes, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. See how you translated the similar expression in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [So what I have done is not like what you have done!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אָ֗ז רָפְתָ֤ה רוּחָם֙ מֵֽעָלָ֔יו
then subsided anger,their from,against,him
The author is speaking as if the spirit of the Ephraimite soldiers literally became smaller or weaker. In this context, the word spirit refers to anger. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Then they had less anger toward him]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּדַבְּר֖וֹ הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה
in/on/at/with,said,he the,thing the,this
The author is using the term word to represent what Gideon said by using words. He is not referring to one specific word that Gideon spoke that made the Ephraimite soldiers less angry. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when he said these things to them]
8:1-3 Ephraim, the dominant tribe of the north-central hill country, produced only a minor judge, Tola (10:1). The Ephraimites resented their omission from the battle, if only because they hoped for a share of the spoils. When summoned, they did the job at hand. Gideon gave a gracious and humble answer, which turned away Ephraim’s anger (see Prov 15:1; contrast Jephthah, Judg 12:1-4). Gideon’s and Ephraim’s victories over Oreb and Zeeb and their armies became the stuff of legend (cp. Ps 83:11-12; Isa 10:26).

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.
