Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִמְצָ֣א בְיָדִ֔י רֶ֖בַע שֶׁ֣קֶל כָּ֑סֶף
he/it_was_found in/on/at/with,hand_of,I quarter_of shekel_of silver
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: [I have found one fourth of a shekel of silver in my hand]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
נִמְצָ֣א בְיָדִ֔י רֶ֖בַע שֶׁ֣קֶל כָּ֑סֶף
he/it_was_found in/on/at/with,hand_of,I quarter_of shekel_of silver
The servant is using the term found in a way characteristic of his language and culture to mean that this piece of silver could be found, that is, that it was there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have one fourth of a shekel of silver in my hand]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נִמְצָ֣א בְיָדִ֔י רֶ֖בַע שֶׁ֣קֶל כָּ֑סֶף
he/it_was_found in/on/at/with,hand_of,I quarter_of shekel_of silver
The servant is speaking of his hand by association to indicate his possession of the silver. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [I have one fourth of a shekel of silver in my possession]
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
וְנָֽתַתִּי֙ לְאִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וְהִגִּ֥יד לָ֖נוּ אֶת־דַּרְכֵּֽנוּ
and,give to,man_of the=ʼElohīm and,tell to/for=us DOM way_of,our
Be sure that it is clear in your translation that the silver was a courteous gift that showed respect to Samuel as a prophet of God. It was not simply a fee. It would not be appropriate to suggest that this was a payment in exchange for which Samuel provided a service. Alternate translation: [And I will give it to him to honor him as a man of God, which we should do if we want to consult him, and he will declare to us our way]

OET (OET-RV) “Look,” answered the servant, “I’ve got a small silver coin. We can give that to the man and he’ll tell us where to go.”
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.
