יְר֣אוּ אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה וַעֲבַדְתֶּ֥ם אֹת֛וֹ בֶּאֱמֶ֖ת בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֑ם כִּ֣י רְא֔וּ אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־הִגְדִּ֖ל עִמָּכֶֽם
fear DOM YHWH and,serve DOM=him/it in/on/at/with,truth in=all heart_of,your_all's that/for/because/then/when consider DOM which/who great_things_~_done for,you_all
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 command that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [see what Yahweh has made great with you, and as a result, serve him in faithfulness with all of your heart]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בֶּאֱמֶ֖ת
in/on/at/with,truth
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [faithfully]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֑ם
in=all heart_of,your_all's
Samuel is speaking using the heart to represent feeling and commitment. See how you translated this expression in [12:20](../12/20.md). Alternate translation: [with complete devotion] or [in complete sincerity]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רְא֔וּ
consider
Samuel is speaking as if the people could visually observe past events. He is using this image to mean they should think about these things. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [consider]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־הִגְדִּ֖ל עִמָּכֶֽם
DOM which/who great_things_~_done for,you_all
Samuel is using a common expression of his culture to describe significant actions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what great things he has done for you]
12:1-25 The reaffirmation of Saul’s kingship at Gilgal (11:12-15) was the final step in his installation as king. The event was a fitting occasion for Samuel’s farewell address as leader of Israel.

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.
