וְחַיַּ֖ת כְּפִירִ֣ים תְּמַלֵּֽא
(Some words not found in UHB: will,you_hunt? for,a_lion prey and_[the],life_of young_lions satisfy )
Yahweh is using the term life by association to mean hunger, since eating is necessary to sustain life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [or satisfy the hunger of her cubs]

וְחַיַּ֖ת כְּפִירִ֣ים תְּמַלֵּֽא
(Some words not found in UHB: will,you_hunt? for,a_lion prey and_[the],life_of young_lions satisfy )
Yahweh is using the word or to introduce what would happen as a result of what he described in the preceding phrase.

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.
