OET-LV And_ Shāʼūl _he/it_said to the_Qēynī[s] go depart go_down from_among_of the_ˊAmālēqite[s] lest I_should_destroy_you with_him/it and_you(ms) you_did loyalty with all_of the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) when_they_came_up from_Miʦrayim and_ the_Qēynī[s] _it_departed from_among_of ˊAmālēq.
OET (OET-RV) Then he warned the Keynim, “You all need to move out from among the Amalekim, so that you all won’t be attacked along with them. That’s because you all were kind to our ancestors when they came out of Mitsrayim.” So the Keynim moved out from among the Amalekim.

לְכוּ֩ סֻּ֨רוּ רְד֜וּ מִתּ֣וֹךְ עֲמָלֵקִ֗י פֶּן־אֹֽסִפְךָ֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וְאַתָּ֞ה עָשִׂ֤יתָה חֶ֨סֶד֙ עִם־כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בַּעֲלוֹתָ֖ם מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם
go (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
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: [Since you yourself did kindness with all of the sons of Israel in their coming up from Egypt, go, depart, go down from the midst of the Amalekite, lest I remove you with him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אֶֽל־הַקֵּינִ֡י & עֲמָלֵקִ֗י & עִמּ֔וֹ & וַיָּ֥סַר קֵינִ֖י
to/near (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
The author is not referring to a specific Kenite or Amalekite. He means the members of these people groups in general. It may be more natural in your language to use plural forms. Alternate translation: [to the Kenites … the Amalekites … with them … And the Kenites]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
אֹֽסִפְךָ֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וְאַתָּ֞ה עָשִׂ֤יתָה חֶ֨סֶד֙
I,should_destroy_you with=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
Since the author is describing Saul addressing a generic Kenite, the pronouns you and yourself are singular. However, since Saul is actually addressing a group of people, the implied “you” in the imperatives Go, depart, and go down is plural. If you decide to translate the singular names of people groups in this verse as plurals, it may be natural in your language to use plural second-person pronouns here, if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
לְכוּ֩ סֻּ֨רוּ רְד֜וּ מִתּ֣וֹךְ
go (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
These three expressions mean similar things. (A doublet can consist of more than two terms.) Saul is using these expressions together to convey emphasis and urgency. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the meaning with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Be sure that you immediately get entirely away from]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
רְד֜וּ
withdraw
See how you translated the expression go down in 10:8. Alternate translation: [go]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וְאַתָּ֞ה עָשִׂ֤יתָה חֶ֨סֶד֙ עִם־כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of kindness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [For you yourself treated all of the sons of Israel kindly]
Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns
וְאַתָּ֞ה עָשִׂ֤יתָה חֶ֨סֶד֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
Saul is stating the pronoun you separately, even though the verb translated as you did already includes this meaning. He is doing that in order to contrast the actions of the Kenites, who were kind to the Israelites, with the actions of the Amalekites, who attacked them. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [After all, for your part, you did kindness]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/near the,Kenite[s] go leave withdraw from,among_of ˊAmālēqites lest I,should_destroy_you with=him/it and=you(ms) showed kindness with all/each/any/every sons_of Yisrael when,they,came_up from,Egypt and,it_departed Qēynīs from,among_of ˊAmālēqites )
See how you translated this phrase in 2:28. Alternate translation: [the Israelites]
OET-LV And_ Shāʼūl _he/it_said to the_Qēynī[s] go depart go_down from_among_of the_ˊAmālēqite[s] lest I_should_destroy_you with_him/it and_you(ms) you_did loyalty with all_of the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) when_they_came_up from_Miʦrayim and_ the_Qēynī[s] _it_departed from_among_of ˊAmālēq.
OET (OET-RV) Then he warned the Keynim, “You all need to move out from among the Amalekim, so that you all won’t be attacked along with them. That’s because you all were kind to our ancestors when they came out of Mitsrayim.” So the Keynim moved out from among the Amalekim.
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.
