OET (OET-LV) And_they_took DOM the_bull which someone_gave to/for_them and_prepared and_called in/on/at/with_name_of the_Baˊal from_the_morning and_unto the_noon to_say the_Baˊal answer_us and_there_was_no a_voice and_no one_who_answered and_limped at the_altar which he_had_made.
OET (OET-RV) So they took the bull he gave them and prepared it all, and then they called out to Baal from morning until midday, shouting, “Baal, answer us!” But they didn’t hear any voice and got no answer. Then they hopped around the altar they’d made.
They took the bull
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM the,bull which/who he/it_gave to/for=them and,prepared and,called in/on/at/with,name_of the,Baal from,the,morning and=unto the,noon to=say the,Baal answer,us and,there_was_no sound/voice and,no answered and,limped on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar which/who he/it_had_made )
Alternate translation: “The prophets of Baal took the bull”

the bull that was given to them
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM the,bull which/who he/it_gave to/for=them and,prepared and,called in/on/at/with,name_of the,Baal from,the,morning and=unto the,noon to=say the,Baal answer,us and,there_was_no sound/voice and,no answered and,limped on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar which/who he/it_had_made )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the bull that someone gave them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
But there was no voice, nor anyone who answered
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM the,bull which/who he/it_gave to/for=them and,prepared and,called in/on/at/with,name_of the,Baal from,the,morning and=unto the,noon to=say the,Baal answer,us and,there_was_no sound/voice and,no answered and,limped on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar which/who he/it_had_made )
These two phrases share similar meanings and emphasize that there was no one to respond to the prayers of the false prophets. The word “voice” represents someone speaking. Alternate translation: “But Baal did not say or do anything” (See also: figs-synecdoche)

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
