OET (OET-LV) This we_will_do to/for_them and_we_will_let_live them and_not it_will_be towards_us severe_anger on the_oath which we_swore to/for_them.

OET (OET-RV) We’re forced now to let them live, otherwise God’s anger would be against us for breaking our promise to them.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–27 The Gibeonites deceived the Israelites

The Gibeonite people lived near Ai. When they heard that Joshua had defeated Ai, they were afraid that he would conquer and kill them too. So, they sent messengers who pretended they had come from a long distance away. They deceived the Israelites and made a treaty of friendship with them.

Later, the Israelites learned that the Gibeonites lied to them, and that they lived quite close to them. They could not kill them because of the treaty, so they made them be water carriers and woodcutters for the Israelites.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The people of Gibeon

The Gibeon people tricked the Israelites and made a treaty with them

9:20a

This is how we will treat them: We will let them live,

This is how we will treat them: We will let them live: The clause This is how we will treat them is a way to emphasize the second clause, We will let them live. The Israelites intend to let the Gibeonites live.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

This is what we will do to them: we will let them live (NIV)

This we will do to them: let them live (ESV)

We must let them live (NET)

9:20b

so that no wrath will fall on us because of the oath we swore to them.”

so that no wrath will fall on us: The clause so that no wrath will fall on us indicates that Yahweh would be angry and punish the Israelites if they broke their vow and harmed the Gibeonites.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

so that God’s wrath will not fall on us (NIV11)

otherwise God will be angry at us

because of the oath we swore to them: The phrase the oath we swore to them states the reason that God would be angry with the Israelites. They made an oath to the Gibeonites in God’s name. God will be angry if they break that oath.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

for breaking the oath we swore to them (NIV)

It may be clearer to combine these two clauses:

If we break our promise, God will punish us (CEV)

divine anger would come upon us if we broke our oath (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶ֤ה עָלֵ֨י⁠נוּ֙ קֶ֔צֶף

and=not will_belong towards,us severe_anger

The leaders mean implicitly that they do not want the wrath of Yahweh to be upon them, that is, they do not want Yahweh to be angry with them and punish them for breaking their oath. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [so Yahweh will not be angry with us and punish us]
