Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְהִ֖יא מָ֣רַת נָ֑פֶשׁ וַתִּתְפַּלֵּ֥ל עַל־יְהוָ֖ה וּבָכֹ֥ה תִבְכֶּֽה
and=she was(fs)_bitter soul and=she/it_prayed on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH and=weeping she_wept
Hannah prayed to Yahweh because she was greatly grieved because she was not able to have any children and because Peninnah regularly ridiculed her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
מָ֣רַת נָ֑פֶשׁ
was(fs)_bitter soul
The phrase bitter of spirit is a simile. The point of this comparison is that Hannah’s emotional state was very unpleasant and undesirable, comparable to the unpleasant experience of eating something very bitter tasting. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning in a non-figurative way. Alternate translation: “was greatly distressed”
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.
