OET (OET-RV) If you can’t do that, how could you all possibly repel even one of our army units? Haha, but of course you trust in Egypt to supply chariots and horsemen.

וְאֵ֣יךְ תָּשִׁ֗יב אֵ֠ת פְּנֵ֨י פַחַ֥ת אַחַ֛ד עַבְדֵ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י הַקְּטַנִּ֑ים וַתִּבְטַ֤ח לְךָ֙ עַל־מִצְרַ֔יִם לְרֶ֖כֶב וּלְפָרָשִֽׁים
and,how? (Some words not found in UHB: and,how? can_you_repulse DOM face/surface_of captain_of one servants_of my=master (the),little and,you_have_been_relying to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Miʦrayim/(Egypt) for,chariotry and,for,horsemen )
If you have decided to translate all of this long quotation in such a way that there will not be quotations within quotations, you can continue doing that in this verse. Alternate translation: [But ask him how he would turn back the face of a captain of one of the least servants of my master. Tell him I know that is why he is trusting for himself in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְאֵ֣יךְ תָּשִׁ֗יב אֵ֠ת פְּנֵ֨י פַחַ֥ת אַחַ֛ד עַבְדֵ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י הַקְּטַנִּ֑ים
and,how? (Some words not found in UHB: and,how? can_you_repulse DOM face/surface_of captain_of one servants_of my=master (the),little and,you_have_been_relying to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Miʦrayim/(Egypt) for,chariotry and,for,horsemen )
The Rabshakeh 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: [But even then, you would not be able to turn back the face of a captain of one of the least servants of my master!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְאֵ֣יךְ תָּשִׁ֗יב אֵ֠ת פְּנֵ֨י פַחַ֥ת אַחַ֛ד עַבְדֵ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י הַקְּטַנִּ֑ים
and,how? (Some words not found in UHB: and,how? can_you_repulse DOM face/surface_of captain_of one servants_of my=master (the),little and,you_have_been_relying to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Miʦrayim/(Egypt) for,chariotry and,for,horsemen )
The Rabshakeh is using one part of a person, his face, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [But how would you turn back a captain of one of the least servants of my master] or [But how would you force a captain to retreat even if he was one of the least servants of my master]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

The Rabshakeh is using the possessive form to describe a captain who would be one of the least servants of the king of Assyria, that is, one of his weakest soldiers. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a captain who was among the least servants of my master]

This is the end of what the Rabshakeh is saying directly to Hezekiah. In the next verse, the Rabshakeh quotes the end of the message from Sennacherib that he wants the officials to give to Hezekiah. If you have been marking levels of quotation with punctuation, use the appropriate closing punctuation at the end of this verse.

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.
