OET (OET-RV) and Yehoshua told the people, “Don’t shout or even speak or make a noise until the day I tell you all to shout—then you all should shout loudly.”

הָעָם֩
the,people
Here, the phrase the people refers to the Israelite soldiers and priests. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Israelite soldiers and priests”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
לֹ֤א תָרִ֨יעוּ֙ וְלֹֽא־תַשְׁמִ֣יעוּ אֶת־קוֹלְכֶ֔ם וְלֹא־יֵצֵ֥א מִפִּיכֶ֖ם דָּבָ֑ר עַ֠ד י֣וֹם אָמְרִ֧י אֲלֵיכֶ֛ם
not shout and=not heard DOM voice,your_all's and=not go_out of,mouth,your_all's word until day tell,I to,you_all
The phrase You shall not shout and the phrase You shall not make your voice heard and the phrase a word shall not go out from your mouth mean very similar things. Joshua says the same thing three times, in slightly different ways, to emphasize to the Israelite soldiers and priests that they must remain silent until Joshua gives them the command to shout. If saying similar things three different times might be confusing for your readers, you can combine the phrases into one and show the emphasis another way. Alternate translation: “You must remain totally quiet until I say to you” or “You must remain completely silent until I tell you”
וְלֹא־יֵצֵ֥א מִפִּיכֶ֖ם דָּבָ֑ר
and=not go_out of,mouth,your_all's word
Alternate translation: “and you shall not say anything”
6:10-11 Warriors would often shout in battle to lift their morale and intimidate the enemy.
• until I tell you: After thirteen circuits of Jericho by Israel’s army with only the sound of trumpets, the psychological shock when Jericho’s defenders heard shouting would be devastating.

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.
