OET (OET-LV) and_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_said to all_of the_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_say if in_all heart_of_your_all’s you_all are_turning_back to YHWH remove DOM the_gods_of the_foreign from_among_of_you_all and_the_ˊAshtorets and_direct hearts_of_your_all’s to YHWH and_serve_him for_him/it_being_alone and_deliver DOM_you_all from_hand_of the_Fəlishtiy.
OET (OET-RV) Then Shemuel told all the Israelis, “If you all really want to return to Yahweh, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtorets from among you. Then decide firmly to serve Yahweh and no other, then he’ll rescue you from the Philistines’ oppression.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל
and=he/it_said Shəmū\sup_ʼēl
The author assumes that his readers will know that Samuel spoke these things as he traveled around the country, as [7:16](../07/16.md) describes. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And as Samuel traveled around the country, he spoke]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כָּל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵל֮
all/each/any/every house_of Yisrael
See how you translated the same expression in [7:2](../07/02.md). Alternate translation: [all of the Israelites] or [people throughout Israel]
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֗ם & לְבַבְכֶ֤ם
in=all heart_of,your_all's & hearts_of,your_all's
Since Samuel is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of heart. Alternate translation: [with all of your hearts … your hearts]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֗ם אַתֶּ֤ם שָׁבִים֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה
in=all heart_of,your_all's you_all returning to/towards YHWH
Samuel is speaking as if returning to Yahweh were traveling to a physical location. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you are sincerely recommitting yourselves to worshiping and obeying Yahweh]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אֶת־אֱלֹהֵ֧י הַנֵּכָ֛ר
DOM gods_of the,foreign
Samuel is not referring to a specific foreigner. He means foreigners in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [the gods of foreigners] or [the gods that foreigners worship]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְהָכִ֨ינוּ לְבַבְכֶ֤ם אֶל־יְהוָה֙
and,direct hearts_of,your_all's to/towards YHWH
Samuel is speaking as if the heart of a person were something that he could direct toward something. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and commit yourselves to worshiping and obeying Yahweh]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים
from,hand_of Pelishtim
The author is using the term hand by association to mean power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from the power of the Philistines]
7:3 People cannot expect God’s blessing unless they get rid of what is contrary to his will (see Gen 35:2; Josh 24:14).
• Ashtoreth was the Canaanite goddess of fertility associated with Baal (1 Sam 7:4). Worship of Canaanite deities was an ongoing problem throughout Israel’s history. The people started worshiping idols during the twenty-year period mentioned in 7:2, or perhaps they had done so ever since the days of the judges (8:8; Judg 6:25; cp. Amos 5:25-26). Israel’s devastating defeat by the Philistines was due not only to the sins of Eli’s two sons but to several generations of unfaithfulness to God.

OET (OET-RV) Then Shemuel told all the Israelis, “If you all really want to return to Yahweh, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtorets from among you. Then decide firmly to serve Yahweh and no other, then he’ll rescue you from the Philistines’ oppression.”
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.
