Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַאֲחֵיהֶם֙ גִּבּ֣וֹרֵי חַ֔יִל מֵאָ֖ה עֶשְׂרִ֣ים וּשְׁמֹנָ֑ה
and,brothers_of,their warriors_of valiant hundred twenty and,eight
The implication is that this is the total number of priests that Amashsai was responsible for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Amashsai was responsible for 128 priests who were capable of working in the temple”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַאֲחֵיהֶם֙
and,brothers_of,their
Here, in context, brothers is a figurative way of saying “fellow priests” as in 11:12, althoughit is possible that some of the biological brothers of Amashsai were included in this group. Their is plural because it is describing this group in reference to all of the other priests, not just to Amashsai. Alternate translation: “their fellow priests”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
גִּבּ֣וֹרֵי חַ֔יִל
warriors_of valiant
In this context, the abstract noun strength likely refers to the way these men were physically capable of doing the required work in the temple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind it with an adjective such as “capable.” Alternate translation: “men who were capable of working in the temple”
Note 4 topic: translate-numbers
מֵאָ֖ה עֶשְׂרִ֣ים וּשְׁמֹנָ֑ה
hundred twenty and,eight
Alternate translation: “one hundred and twenty-eight”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּפָקִ֣יד עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם
and,overseer over,their
This appears to mean that while Amashsai was responsible overall for this group of priests, Zabdiel supervised their day-to-day work. Alternate translation: “Zabdiel was their supervisor”

Zaⱱdiy\sup_ʼēl son_of the,haggedolim
Zabdiel is the name of a man, and Haggedolim is the name of his father.
11:1-36 The narrative returns to the issue of repopulating the secure city of Jerusalem (see 7:1-5). The list of names roughly parallels the list in 1 Chr 9:2-17.

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.
