OET (OET-LV) you_have_summoned like_the_day_of an_appointed_feast terrors_of_my from_round_about and_not he_was in/on_day of_the_anger of_YHWH an_escapee and_a_survivor those_whom I_had_given_birth and_I_had_reared enemy_of_my he_has_made_an_end_of_them.
OET (OET-RV) You’ve summoned terrors to surround me like summoning people to a festival day,
⇔ and there wasn’t anyone who escaped or survived on the day of Yahweh’s anger.
⇔ Those who I birthed and multiplied, my enemy has ended.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
תִּקְרָא֩ כְי֨וֹם מוֹעֵ֤ד מְגוּרַי֙ מִסָּבִ֔יב
(Some words not found in UHB: summon like_[the],day_of feast terrors_of,my from,round_about and=not it_became in/on=day also/though YHWH escaped and,a_survivor which/who cared_for and,I_had_reared enemy_of,my he,has_made_an_end_of_them )
The point of this comparison is that just as guests are invited to an appointed festival, so has God summoned numerous terrors from all around. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [You have invited terrors to attack me from all around, as if calling guests to a festival]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מְגוּרַי֙ מִסָּבִ֔יב
terrors_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: summon like_[the],day_of feast terrors_of,my from,round_about and=not it_became in/on=day also/though YHWH escaped and,a_survivor which/who cared_for and,I_had_reared enemy_of,my he,has_made_an_end_of_them )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of terrors, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [enemies who terrify me from every side]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּי֥וֹם אַף־יְהוָ֖ה
(Some words not found in UHB: summon like_[the],day_of feast terrors_of,my from,round_about and=not it_became in/on=day also/though YHWH escaped and,a_survivor which/who cared_for and,I_had_reared enemy_of,my he,has_made_an_end_of_them )
The writer is using the expression the day of the anger of Yahweh to refer to the time of divine judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when Yahweh was angry and executed his judgment]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
פָּלִ֣יט וְשָׂרִ֑יד
(Some words not found in UHB: summon like_[the],day_of feast terrors_of,my from,round_about and=not it_became in/on=day also/though YHWH escaped and,a_survivor which/who cared_for and,I_had_reared enemy_of,my he,has_made_an_end_of_them )
The terms an escapee and a survivor mean similar things. The writer is using the two terms together to emphasize that absolutely no one got away. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [any one at all who escaped]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
אֲשֶׁר־טִפַּ֥חְתִּי וְרִבִּ֖יתִי
(Some words not found in UHB: summon like_[the],day_of feast terrors_of,my from,round_about and=not it_became in/on=day also/though YHWH escaped and,a_survivor which/who cared_for and,I_had_reared enemy_of,my he,has_made_an_end_of_them )
The terms carried and multiplied are paired to express the full cycle of motherhood, both bearing and nurturing children. The writer speaks as a mother figure who carried and raised these people. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express this with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [All those whom I lovingly reared]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֹיְבִ֥י כִלָּֽם
enemy_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: summon like_[the],day_of feast terrors_of,my from,round_about and=not it_became in/on=day also/though YHWH escaped and,a_survivor which/who cared_for and,I_had_reared enemy_of,my he,has_made_an_end_of_them )
The writer is speaking of the enemy’s total destruction of the people as if the enemy had consumed them like food. Your language may have a comparable expression you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my enemy has completely destroyed them]

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.
