OET (OET-LV) As_soon_as_enter_you_all the_city thus find DOM_him/it in/on/at/with_before he_will_go_up the_high_place_to to_eat if/because not it_will_eat the_people until comes_he if/because he he_will_bless the_sacrifice after thus they_will_eat the_invited and_now go_up if/because DOM_him/it as/like_the_about_the_day find DOM_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) You’ll find him as soon as you enter the city, before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he gets there, because he himself will bless the sacrifice. Afterwards, those who’ve been invited will eat together there. So go up there now and you’ll soon find him.”

כְּבֹאֲכֶ֣ם הָעִ֣יר כֵּ֣ן תִּמְצְא֣וּן אֹת֡וֹ בְּטֶרֶם֩ יַעֲלֶ֨ה הַבָּמָ֜תָה לֶאֱכֹ֗ל & לֹֽא־יֹאכַ֤ל הָעָם֙ עַד־בֹּא֔וֹ כִּֽי־הוּא֙ יְבָרֵ֣ךְ הַזֶּ֔בַח & כִּֽי

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 he himself will bless the sacrifice, the people will not eat until he comes, so in your entering the city, thus you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּטֶרֶם֩ יַעֲלֶ֨ה הַבָּמָ֜תָה לֶאֱכֹ֗ל & לֹֽא־יֹאכַ֤ל הָעָם֙ עַד־בֹּא֔וֹ כִּֽי־הוּא֙ יְבָרֵ֣ךְ הַזֶּ֔בַח & כִּֽי
in/on/at/with,before it_will_ascend the,high_place,to to,eat & not eat the,people until comes,he that/for/because/then/when he/it bless the,sacrifice & that/for/because/then/when
The fact that the people will not eat before Samuel comes is not in itself a logical reason why Samuel will still be at the entrance to the city. There is a further step in the logic. The young women mean that the people are still preparing the feast so that Samuel can bless it and that is why he has not gone up to the festival yet. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [because he has not yet gone up to the high place to eat, since the people are still preparing the feast so that he can bless it. For the people will not eat until he comes and does that]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
הַקְּרֻאִ֑ים
the,invited
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [those whom someone has invited]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְעַתָּ֣ה
and=now
Speakers in this culture used the expression And now to introduce their main point. See how you translated it in [6:7](../06/07.md). Alternate translation: [So this is what you should do]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
כִּ֠י & אֹת֥וֹ כְהַיּ֖וֹם תִּמְצְא֥וּן אֹתֽוֹ
that/for/because/then/when & DOM=him/it as/like,the,about_the_day find, DOM=him/it
The women are repeating the pronoun him for emphasis. If your language can repeat pronouns for emphasis, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [for you will find the very man you are looking for according to today]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כְהַיּ֖וֹם
as/like,the,about_the_day
The young women are using a common expression of their culture to refer to the present moment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [right away] or [just at this time]
9:13 to eat: Part of a sacrifice made during worship was burned on the altar, while the remainder was eaten in a ceremonial feast by the guests (see also 1:4).
• to bless the food: As a Levite, Samuel’s priestly role included offering blessings (see Deut 10:8; 21:5).
OET (OET-LV) As_soon_as_enter_you_all the_city thus find DOM_him/it in/on/at/with_before he_will_go_up the_high_place_to to_eat if/because not it_will_eat the_people until comes_he if/because he he_will_bless the_sacrifice after thus they_will_eat the_invited and_now go_up if/because DOM_him/it as/like_the_about_the_day find DOM_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) You’ll find him as soon as you enter the city, before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he gets there, because he himself will bless the sacrifice. Afterwards, those who’ve been invited will eat together there. So go up there now and you’ll soon find him.”
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.
