Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
כָּ֭עֵת בַּמָּר֣וֹם תַּמְרִ֑יא
yet_the,time in/on/at/with,aloft spreads_~_wings
Yahweh is implicitly drawing a contrast between the apparently foolish behavior of the ostrich as a mother and its impressive physical capabilities, specifically how fast and powerfully it can run. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the contrast explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “Nevertheless, when it lifts itself on high”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כָּ֭עֵת בַּמָּר֣וֹם תַּמְרִ֑יא
yet_the,time in/on/at/with,aloft spreads_~_wings
This expression does not refer to the ostrich flying, since ostriches cannot fly. Rather, it is a reference to what an ostrich does in order to run. It stretches to its full height and spreads and flaps its wings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Nevertheless, when it runs”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
תִּֽשְׂחַ֥ק לַ֝סּ֗וּס וּלְרֹֽכְבֽוֹ
laughs at_the,horse and,at,rider,its
Yahweh is speaking of the ostrich as if it could consciously express by laughing what it was thinking and feeling. Here the term laughs implicitly means laughing scornfully. The ostrich would express scorn towards a horse and its rider because it could run faster than the horse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it can run even faster than a horse”
39:18 passes (literally scorns) the swiftest horse with its rider: See 39:7, 22; 41:29.
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.
