OET interlinear 1 SAM 5:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וַ⁠יִּרְא֥וּ אַנְשֵֽׁי־אַשְׁדּ֖וֹד

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_saw men_of ʼAshdōd that/for/because/then/when so and,they_said not remain ark_of god_of Yisrael with,us that/for/because/then/when heavy his/its=hand on,us and,on Dāgōn God_of,our )

Here the masculine term men has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [And the people of Ashdod saw]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לֹֽא־יֵשֵׁ֞ב אֲר֨וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עִמָּ֔⁠נוּ כִּֽי־קָשְׁתָ֤ה יָד⁠וֹ֙ עָלֵ֔י⁠נוּ וְ⁠עַ֖ל דָּג֥וֹן אֱלֹהֵֽי⁠נוּ

not (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_saw men_of ʼAshdōd that/for/because/then/when so and,they_said not remain ark_of god_of Yisrael with,us that/for/because/then/when heavy his/its=hand on,us and,on Dāgōn God_of,our )

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 the hand of the God of Israel is severe against us and against Dagon our god, his Box should not stay with us]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּֽי־קָשְׁתָ֤ה יָד⁠וֹ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_saw men_of ʼAshdōd that/for/because/then/when so and,they_said not remain ark_of god_of Yisrael with,us that/for/because/then/when heavy his/its=hand on,us and,on Dāgōn God_of,our )

See how you translated the similar expression in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [for he is using his power greatly]
