OET (OET-LV) And_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_said how will_I_go and_ Shāʼūl _hears and_kill_me and_ YHWH _he/it_said a_heifer_of cattle you_will_take in/on/at/with_hand_of_you and_say to_sacrifice to/for_YHWH I_have_come.
OET (OET-RV) “How can I do that?” asked Shemuel. “Sha’ul would kill me if he heard about it.”
¶ “Take a heifer with you,” Yahweh said, “and say, ‘I’ve come to sacrifice to Yahweh.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אֵ֣יךְ אֵלֵ֔ךְ
how go
Samuel is using the question form for emphasis. If speakers of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I cannot go!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְשָׁמַ֥ע שָׁא֖וּל
and,hears Shāʼūl
Samuel is not stating his full meaning explicitly, but it is clear from the context. You could indicate it explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [If Saul hears that I have gone to anoint a different king]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ
in/on/at/with,hand_of,you
Yahweh is using one part of Samuel, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of bringing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with you]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ לִזְבֹּ֥חַ לַֽיהוָ֖ה בָּֽאתִי
and,say to,sacrifice to/for=YHWH come
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [and say that you have come to sacrifice to Yahweh]
16:2 say that you have come to make a sacrifice: God sometimes leads his servants into dangerous situations. He protects his own—sometimes by miracle, sometimes by strategy (cp. Exod 3:18-22). In Samuel’s role as a priestly judge, he would not have raised any suspicions by offering a sacrifice (see 1 Sam 10:8).

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.
