OET (OET-LV) And_if thus I_will_say to_the_youth there the_arrows from_you and_beyond go if/because sent_away_you YHWH.
OET (OET-RV) But if I tell the boy that they’re on the far side, go because Yahweh is sending you away.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הַחִצִּ֖ים מִמְּךָ֣ וָהָ֑לְאָה
the,arrows from,you and,beyond
Jonathan is using a common expression of his culture to mean that the arrows are farther ahead of where the boy is standing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [keep going, the arrows are farther ahead of you]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
לֵ֕ךְ כִּ֥י שִֽׁלַּחֲךָ֖ יְהוָֽה
go that/for/because/then/when sent_~_away,you YHWH
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 Yahweh has sent you away, go]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
שִֽׁלַּחֲךָ֖ יְהוָֽה
sent_~_away,you YHWH
Jonathan means that under these circumstances, Yahweh would be sending David away for his own safety. He is not saying that Yahweh does not want David to be at the royal court. Saul, through his own jealousy and suspicion, is responsible for making it unsafe for David to be there. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has sent you away for your own safety]
20:18-22 Jonathan’s ruse would allow David to get the message even if there could be no face-to-face meeting; the boy’s presence would allay suspicion and provide Jonathan an alibi for going to the field. As it happened, no one but the boy accompanied Jonathan to the field, so when the boy left, David was able to speak with Jonathan face to face (20:40-42).

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.
