OET (OET-LV) And_not he_remained anyone in/on/at/with_ˊAy and wwww who not they_went_out after Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_left DOM the_city open and_pursued after Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
OET (OET-RV) and there wasn’t a single man left in Ay or Bethel who didn’t join the chase—they left the city wide open and chased after the Israelis.
וְלֹֽא־נִשְׁאַ֣ר אִ֗ישׁ בָּעַי֙ וּבֵ֣ית אֵ֔ל\nאֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יָצְא֖וּ אַחֲרֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
and=not left (a)_man in/on/at/with,Ai and, (Some words not found in UHB: and=not left (a)_man in/on/at/with,Ai and, אֵל which/who not they_came_out after Yisrael and,left DOM the=city open and,pursued after Yisrael )
The phrase there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who had not pursued after Israel means that all the men who were able to fight left these two towns to pursue the Israelite army. Old men and those unable to fight because of some physical disability probably did not leave these towns. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “And there was not a man of fighting age left in the Ai or Bethel who had not pursued after Israel” or “And there was not a fighting man left in the Ai or Bethel who had not pursued after Israel”

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this sentence as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “And every man in the Ai and Bethel pursued after Israel”
8:17 not a man left in Ai or Bethel: Much of an individual soldier’s gain from warfare was his share of the spoils taken from the defeated enemy or a reward given by his king for each enemy he killed.
• The warriors of Bethel likely joined those of Ai because they also feared Israel’s advance.
