OET (OET-LV) Not he_will_stand anyone to_your_face all the_days life_your just_as I_was with Mosheh I_will_be with_you not fail_you and_not forsake_you.
OET (OET-RV) No man will be able to challenge your leadership as long as you live—I’ll be with you just as I was with Mosheh—I won’t fail you or abandon you.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לֹֽא & אִישׁ֙
not & (a)_man
Since the book of Joshua describes how the kings of cities and kingdoms led their soldiers into battle to oppose Joshua, the phrase No man seems implicitly to mean “No king and his army” or more broadly “No people group.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “No king and his army” or “No people group.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב & לְפָנֶ֔יךָ
stand & to=your=face
In this context, the word stand means “resist” or “withstand.” The phrase to your face either means “in front of you,” with face meaning by association the area in front of Joshua, or “against you,” with part of Joshua, his face, representing all of him. You could indicate this overall meaning explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “will be able to resist you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
לְפָנֶ֔יךָ & חַיֶּ֑יךָ & עִמָּ֔ךְ & אַרְפְּךָ֖ & אֶעֶזְבֶֽךָּ
to=your=face & (Some words not found in UHB: not stand (a)_man to=your=face all days_of life,your just=as was with Mosheh be with,you not fail,you and=not forsake,you )
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the words you and your are singular in this verse and through verse 9, since they refer to Joshua. So use singular forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
לֹ֥א אַרְפְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א אֶעֶזְבֶֽךָּ
not (Some words not found in UHB: not stand (a)_man to=your=face all days_of life,your just=as was with Mosheh be with,you not fail,you and=not forsake,you )
The words abandon and leave mean basically the same thing. Yahweh combines them to emphasize that he will not do these things. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. It may be more natural in your language to use a positive statement to do that. Alternate translation: “I will not ever abandon you” or “I will certainly stay with you always”
1:5 God promised never to fail or abandon Joshua, just as he had promised Moses (cp. Deut 31:6-8).

OET (OET-RV) No man will be able to challenge your leadership as long as you live—I’ll be with you just as I was with Mosheh—I won’t fail you or abandon you.
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.
