וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֱד֔וֹם לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹ֖ר בִּ֑י פֶּן בַּחֶ֖רֶב אֵצֵ֥א לִקְרָאתֶֽךָ
and=he/it_said to=him/it ʼEdōm not pass in,me lest with,sword come_out to,meet,you
Here, the word lest marks with the sword I come out to meet you as the outcome that the king of Edom warns will happen if the Israelites try to pass through. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that avoiding this outcome is the purpose of his warning.

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.
