OET (OET-RV) Please, my master, what can I say now that we have had to flee in shame from our enemies?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מָ֣ה אֹמַ֔ר
what say
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: “There is nothing I can say”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הָפַ֧ךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל עֹ֖רֶף לִפְנֵ֥י אֹיְבָֽיו
turned (Some words not found in UHB: o my=master what say after which/who turned Yisrael backs to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemies,its )
Joshua is using a common expression to mean that the Israelite soldiers stopped fighting and ran away from the battle. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the Israelite soldiers have run away from the enemies they were fighting”
7:1-26 Now that Jericho belonged to Israel, Joshua’s first military problem involved securing a foothold in the hill country. The conquest of Jericho inspired Israel’s confidence and consigned the people of Canaan to discouragement and despair. Yet everything hinged on Israel’s obedience to God. One man’s sin and its consequences demonstrate how serious was the command to destroy Jericho (see “Complete Dedication” Theme Note).

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.
