OET (OET-LV) And_they_will_come_out after_us until we_have_drawn_out them from the_city if/because they_will_say they_are_fleeing before_us just_as at_time and_we_will_flee before_them.

OET (OET-RV) They’ll think we’re running away from them like we did before, so they’ll chase after us until we’ve drawn them away from the city.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–29 Israel defeated Ai.

In chapter 7, Israel attacked Ai and the soldiers of Ai defeated them. They were discouraged but they repented of their sin. In chapter 8, God told Joshua to attack Ai again. This time, the Israelites were victorious and defeated Ai.

Verses 8:1–9 describe Joshua’s preparations to attack Ai, with details about the ambush. The soldiers in the ambush left by night ahead of the other soldiers. Verses 8:10–27 describe the movement of the soldiers, and the defeat of Ai. Verses 8:28–29 is a summary of the story.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The fall and destruction of Ai

Israel conquered Ai

8:6a

They will pursue us

It is recommended that you begin a new sentence here.

They will pursue us: The clause They will pursue us indicates that the soldiers of Ai will come out of their town and chase the Israelites when they run away.

8:6b

until we have drawn them away from the city,

until we have drawn them away from the city: The clause until we have drawn them away from the city indicates that the Israelite soldiers continued to run away until the soldiers of Ai were far from their town.

until: The English word until can also be spelled “till” as in most English versions.

have drawn them away: The expression drawn them away indicates that they lured them or enticed them to leave.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

we will trick them into going far from their town

8:6c

for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’

for: The word for introduces the reason why the citizens of Ai left the town in 8:6a-b. Use a natural way in your language to indicate reason. It is recommended that you begin a new sentence here.

they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’: The clause they will say introduces what the soldiers of Ai would think and say to each other. In some languages it might be more natural to use an indirect quote. For example:

They will pursue us until we have led them away from the city. They will think that we are running from them, as we did before. (GNT)

as they did before: The citizens of Ai assumed that the Israelites would act the same way that they did the first time.

8:6d

So as we flee from them,

So as we flee from them: The clause So as we flee from them repeats information that Joshua stated in verse 8:5c. Even though this phrase is at the end of a verse, it is the beginning of a new sentence. For example:

6dSo when we flee from them, 7ayou are to rise up from ambush and take the town, (NIV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כִּ֣י יֹֽאמְר֔וּ נָסִ֣ים לְ⁠פָנֵ֔י⁠נוּ כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר בָּ⁠רִֽאשֹׁנָ֑ה

that/for/because/then/when say fleeing before,,us just=as at,[time]

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [For they will say that we are fleeing to their faces, just as at the first]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:1-13 The first attempt to conquer Ai had been done without consulting God; the second attempt would be made at God’s command and direction. Before the second attempt, God spoke to Joshua again and gave him a strategy. More importantly, in light of Israel’s recent disaster, God gave him encouragement and a promise.
