OET (OET-RV) “Yes, I’ve sinned,” Sha’ul responded. “I can see that I’ve disobeyed Yahweh’s instruction, and yours too, because I feared the people and did what they were requesting.

חָטָ֔אתִי כִּֽי־עָבַ֥רְתִּי אֶת־פִּֽי־יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־דְּבָרֶ֑יךָ כִּ֤י יָרֵ֨אתִי֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וָאֶשְׁמַ֖ע בְּקוֹלָֽם
sinned that/for/because/then/when transgressed DOM command_of YHWH and=DOM words_of,your that/for/because/then/when feared DOM the,people and,obeyed in/on/at/with,voice_of,their
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 I feared the people and listened to their voice, I have crossed over the mouth of Yahweh and your words, and so I have sinned]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
עָבַ֥רְתִּי
transgressed
Saul is speaking as if Yahweh’s commands were a boundary that he had physically crossed. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [I have gone beyond] or [I have disobeyed]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־פִּֽי־יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־דְּבָרֶ֑יךָ
DOM command_of YHWH and=DOM words_of,your
Saul is using the terms mouth and words by association to mean what Yahweh commanded by using his mouth, which Samuel relayed by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [what Yahweh told me to do and what you said I should do]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וָאֶשְׁמַ֖ע בְּקוֹלָֽם
and,obeyed in/on/at/with,voice_of,their
See how you translated the similar expression in [15:1](../15/01.md). Alternate translation: [and did what they urged me to do]
15:24 I was afraid of the people: Saul continued to blame others (see 15:15, 21).
• what they demanded: There is no hint of such pressure in the chapter. Saul’s confession appears dishonest (cp. David, 2 Sam 12:13; Ps 51).
OET (OET-LV) and_ Shāʼūl _he/it_said to Shəmūʼēl I_have_sinned if/because I_have_transgressed DOM the_mouth_of YHWH and_DOM words_of_your if/because I_feared DOM the_people and_obeyed in/on/at/with_voice_of_their.
OET (OET-RV) “Yes, I’ve sinned,” Sha’ul responded. “I can see that I’ve disobeyed Yahweh’s instruction, and yours too, because I feared the people and did what they were requesting.
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.
