OET (OET-LV) And_it_was in/on/at/with_morning at_up the_sun you_will_rise_early and_rush on the_city and_see/lo/see he and_the_troops which with_him/it [are]_going_out against_you and_do for_him/it just_as it_will_find hand_you.
OET (OET-RV) Then when the sun rises in the morning, you all should set out early and spread out in an attack against the city. Keep watch, then when Ga’al and the people with him are coming out toward you to fight, then you can overpower them and treat him however you think fit.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
תַּשְׁכִּ֖ים וּפָשַׁטְתָּ֣ & אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְעָשִׂ֣יתָ & יָדֶֽךָ
get_up and,rush & against,you and,do & hand,you
The words you and your are singular throughout this verse because the messengers are addressing Abimelek directly. However, they are speaking of what he and his troops will do, so it may be more natural for you to use plural forms if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ה֞וּא
he/it
The pronoun he refers to Gaal. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Gaal”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר תִּמְצָ֥א יָדֶֽךָ
just=as finds hand,you
The messengers are using a common expression that means that Abimelek would do what the opportunity allowed and the situation directed. In other words, Zebul was not making any further recommendation about what Abimelek should do at this point but leaving it to his discretion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “as the opportunity presents”
Note 4 topic: translate-tense
וְהָיָ֤ה בַבֹּ֨קֶר֙ כִּזְרֹ֣חַ הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ תַּשְׁכִּ֖ים וּפָשַׁטְתָּ֣ עַל־הָעִ֑יר
and=it_was in/on/at/with,morning at,up the,sun get_up and,rush on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city
The messengers are continuing to communicate a recommendation from Zebul. Translate this using forms that someone would use in your language to address a superior. Alternate translation: “And I would recommend that in the morning, as the sun rises, you start early and rush against the city”
9:1-57 The reign of Abimelech was the turning point between the comparative rest of the early period of judges (3:7–8:35) and the decline of the later years (10:1–16:31).
OET (OET-LV) And_it_was in/on/at/with_morning at_up the_sun you_will_rise_early and_rush on the_city and_see/lo/see he and_the_troops which with_him/it [are]_going_out against_you and_do for_him/it just_as it_will_find hand_you.
OET (OET-RV) Then when the sun rises in the morning, you all should set out early and spread out in an attack against the city. Keep watch, then when Ga’al and the people with him are coming out toward you to fight, then you can overpower them and treat him however you think fit.”
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.
