אִם־לִקְרֹ֤א לְךָ֙ בָּ֣אוּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֔ים
if to=call to/for=yourself(m) they_went the,men
God is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, or if your readers might think that what God is saying is uncertain, then you could translate this as a confident statement. Alternate translation: [Since the men have come to call for you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וְאַ֗ךְ הַדָּבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁר־אֲדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יךָ אֹת֥וֹ תַעֲשֶֽׂה
and,only (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_came ʼElohīm to/towards Bilˊām night and=he/it_said to=him/it if to=call to/for=yourself(m) they_went the,men get_up go with=them and,only DOM the,word which/who tell to,you DOM=him/it do )
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the phrase it you shall do with or before the phrase the word that I speak to you. Alternate translation: [But you shall do only the word that I speak to you]

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.
