Samuel is speaking of these signs as if they were living things that could come to a person on their own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when you see these things occur]

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [because God is with you, do for yourself what your hand finds]

Samuel is using a common expression of his culture that means to do whatever seems best in a situation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [do whatever you believe is best to do]

OET (OET-RV) When this all comes true, do whatever you think is correct because God will be helping 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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
