OET (OET-LV) and_ Yəhōshūˊa _pronounced_oath in/on/at/with_time the_that to_say [be]_cursed the_man to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH who he_will_arise and_builds DOM the_city the_this DOM Yərīḩō in/on/at/with_firstborn_of_his lay_foundation_its and_in/on/at/with_youngest_of_his he_will_set_up gates_of_its.
OET (OET-RV) At that time, Yehoshua made the people take an oath, saying,
⇔ “May Yahweh curse anyone who rebuilds this city, Yericho.
⇔ When that person lays its foundation, may his oldest son die.
⇔ And when he finishes building the city wall and sets up its gates, may his youngest son die.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אָר֨וּר הָאִ֜ישׁ
cursing the=man
Joshua is not speaking of one particular man but of any man who might possibly rebuild Jericho in the future, If it would be helpful in your language, use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “Cursed is any man”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֲשֶׁ֤ר יָקוּם֙ וּבָנָ֞ה
which/who rises_up and,builds
As in the similar expression in 1:2, here Joshua is using the word arises to mean “takes action.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who undertakes to rebuild”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בִּבְכֹר֣וֹ יְיַסְּדֶ֔נָּה וּבִצְעִיר֖וֹ יַצִּ֥יב דְּלָתֶֽיהָ
in/on/at/with,firstborn_of,his lay_~_foundation,its and,in/on/at/with,youngest_of,his certainty gates_of,its
By With and with, Joshua does not mean that the man he is describing will work together with his oldest son to lay the foundations of Jericho and work together with his youngest son to set up its gates. He means that these sons will die at the beginning and ending of the rebuilding. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “At the cost of his firstborn he will found it, and at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
בִּבְכֹר֣וֹ & וּבִצְעִיר֖וֹ
in/on/at/with,firstborn_of,his & and,in/on/at/with,youngest_of,his
Joshua is using the adjectives oldest and youngest as nouns to refer to certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “with his oldest son … with his youngest son”
6:26 Joshua placed a curse upon the site because Jericho was the first Canaanite town to resist God’s purposes in bringing Israel into the land. Jericho was also the first town to experience God’s judgment upon Canaan’s great wickedness. As the firstfruits of Israel’s conquest of Canaan, it belonged to God (Exod 13:2; 23:19). God executed Joshua’s curse on the first man to defy it (1 Kgs 16:34; cp. Josh 7).
