OET (OET-LV) If he_will_be_able to_fight with_me and_he_will_strike_me_down and_we_will_become to/for_you(pl) (into)_slaves and_if I I_will_prevail to_him/it and_I_will_strike_him_down and_you(pl)_will_be to/for_us (into)_slaves and_you(pl)_will_serve us.
OET (OET-RV) If he’s able to fight with me and kill me, then we’ll become your slaves. But if I’m the winner and kill him, then you’ll all become our slaves and work for us.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְהִכָּ֔נִי & וְהִכִּיתִ֔יו
(Some words not found in UHB: if he/it_would_be_able to,fight with,me and,he,will_strike_me_down and,we_will_become to/for=you(pl) (into),slaves and=if I prevail to=him/it and,I,will_strike_him_down and=you(pl)_will_be to/for=us (into),slaves and,you(pl)_will_serve ,us )
See how you translated the similar term “struck” in [4:2](../04/02.md). Alternate translation: [and he kills me … and I kill him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאִם־אֲנִ֤י אֽוּכַל־לוֹ֙
and=if I prevail to=him/it
Goliath is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [But if I am able to fight successfully against him] or [But if I prevail against him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וִהְיִ֤יתֶם לָ֨נוּ֙ לַעֲבָדִ֔ים וַעֲבַדְתֶּ֖ם אֹתָֽנוּ
and=you(pl)_will_be to/for=us (into),slaves (Some words not found in UHB: if he/it_would_be_able to,fight with,me and,he,will_strike_me_down and,we_will_become to/for=you(pl) (into),slaves and=if I prevail to=him/it and,I,will_strike_him_down and=you(pl)_will_be to/for=us (into),slaves and,you(pl)_will_serve ,us )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [then you will become our servants]
OET (OET-LV) If he_will_be_able to_fight with_me and_he_will_strike_me_down and_we_will_become to/for_you(pl) (into)_slaves and_if I I_will_prevail to_him/it and_I_will_strike_him_down and_you(pl)_will_be to/for_us (into)_slaves and_you(pl)_will_serve us.
OET (OET-RV) If he’s able to fight with me and kill me, then we’ll become your slaves. But if I’m the winner and kill him, then you’ll all become our slaves and work for us.”
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.
