Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

Yahweh 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: “ “Surely I have commanded you!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
חֲזַ֣ק וֶאֱמָ֔ץ
strong and,courageous
See how you translated these same phrases in 1:6. Alternate translation: “Be very courageous”

אַֽל־ תַּעֲרֹ֖ץ וְאַל־ תֵּחָ֑ת כִּ֤י עִמְּךָ֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ בְּכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר תֵּלֵֽךְ
not frightened and,not dismayed that/for/because/then/when with,you YHWH God,your in/on/at/with,every which/who go
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Since Yahweh your God is with you in every place where you go, do not be terrified and do not be dismayed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
אַֽל־תַּעֲרֹ֖ץ וְאַל־תֵּחָ֑ת
not (Some words not found in UHB: am=not I_commanded=you(ms) strong and,courageous not frightened and,not dismayed that/for/because/then/when with,you YHWH God,your in/on/at/with,every which/who go )
The phrases Do not be terrified and do not be dismayed mean similar things. Yahweh combines them to emphasize that Joshua must not be afraid. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “Make sure that you are not terrified” or “There is absolutely no reason for you to be terrified”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
עִמְּךָ֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ
with,you YHWH God,your
Here Yahweh speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with the first person. Alternate translation: “I, Yahweh your God, am with you”
1:9 As the Israelites entered Canaan, they would fight the worshipers of the Canaanite gods, but they were afraid these gods would grant the Canaanites victory in battle. In reassuring Joshua, God used his personal name the Lord (Hebrew Yahweh; see study note on Exod 3:15) to remind Joshua that the Lord was more powerful than any false gods the Canaanites might invoke.
• your God is with you: God’s continuous presence made it possible for Joshua to heed God’s instruction.

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.
