OET (OET-RV) Proclaim this among the nations:
⇔ “Prepare for war.
⇔ ≈ Arm the warriors!
⇔ Let them approach.
⇔ ≈ Let all the men of war start coming.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

proclaim
The imperative Proclaim is plural here, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Joel is addressing generally all those who would be in a position to make this proclamation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
קַדְּשׁ֖וּ מִלְחָמָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: proclaim this(f) among,nations prepare war rouse the,warriors draw_near come_up all men_of of_(the),war )
Joel assumes that his listeners will know that by Consecrate a war he means to perform the rites with which they would begin a war. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Perform the rites with which you would begin a war]

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.
