OET (OET-LV) And_ Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) _he/it_said to the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) until when will_you(pl) be_showing_yourselves_slack(pl) to_go to_take_possession_of DOM the_earth/land which he_has_given to/for_you(pl) YHWH the_god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of_your(pl).

OET (OET-RV) Yehoshua asked the Israelis, “How much longer are you all going to put off capturing the land that your ancestors’ God Yahweh has given you?

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:1–10 Joshua divided land among the remaining seven clans

In this section Joshua instructed the remaining seven clans to make a plan for dividing up the rest of the land of Canaan.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Dividing the rest of the land

The rest of the land is distributed

18:3a

So Joshua said to the Israelites,

So Joshua said to the Israelites: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Joshua asked the people of Israel

So Joshua spoke to the Israelites. He said, (NIRV)

18:3b

“How long will you put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

How long will you put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?: This is a rhetorical question. It functions as a rebuke. Joshua rebuked the Israelites because they had not taken the land that God gave them.

Here are two ways to translate this rebuke:

Translate this as a natural rebuke in your language.

How long will you put off: The Hebrew participle that the BSB translates as put off indicates that the Israelite people were lazy, or slow to act.

you: This is a plural you. Joshua spoke to the people of Israel.

entering and possessing the land: The clause entering and possessing the land indicates that the Israelites should enter the land to live in it. They had conquered the land but they had not yet settled down in it.Expositor’s Bible Commentary volume 2.

the God of your fathers: The term the God of your fathers indicates that Yahweh was the God whom their ancestors had worshiped.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Why are you(plur) waiting so long to claim the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given to you?

Do not delay any longer to go in and settle in the land that Yahweh has given you. He is the God whom your ancestors worshiped.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

to/towards sons_of Yisrael

The context makes clear that the author is using an entire group, the sons of Israel, to mean one part of that group, the Israelite tribes that had not yet received any land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to the leaders of those tribes]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַד־אָ֨נָה֙ אַתֶּ֣ם מִתְרַפִּ֔ים לָ⁠בוֹא֙ לָ⁠רֶ֣שֶׁת אֶת־הָ⁠אָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ נָתַ֣ן לָ⁠כֶ֔ם יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבֽוֹתֵי⁠כֶֽם

until how? you(pl) slack to,go to,take_possession_of DOM the=earth/land which/who he/it_gave to/for=you(pl) YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your(pl)

Joshua is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You must stop being so slow to enter and take possession of the land that Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given to you!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֽוֹתֵי⁠כֶֽם

your(pl)_ancestors_of,your(pl)

Joshua is speaking as if *your fathers were the actual fathers of the current generation of Israelites. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your ancestors]
