Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
שְׁמַע֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_drew_near to=her/it and=she/it_said the=woman [are],you? Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=he/it_said I and=she/it_said to=him/it listen words_of your(ms)=female_slave and=he/it_said listening I )
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please hear]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
דִּבְרֵ֣י אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_drew_near to=her/it and=she/it_said the=woman [are],you? Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=he/it_said I and=she/it_said to=him/it listen words_of your(ms)=female_slave and=he/it_said listening I )
The woman is using the term words to represent what she wants to say by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what your female servant has to say]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
דִּבְרֵ֣י אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_drew_near to=her/it and=she/it_said the=woman [are],you? Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=he/it_said I and=she/it_said to=him/it listen words_of your(ms)=female_slave and=he/it_said listening I )
The woman is speaking of herself in the third person as your female servant to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [what I, your female servant, have to say]
Note 4 topic: translate-tense
שֹׁמֵ֥עַ אָנֹֽכִי
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_drew_near to=her/it and=she/it_said the=woman [are],you? Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=he/it_said I and=she/it_said to=him/it listen words_of your(ms)=female_slave and=he/it_said listening I )
Joab is using the present tense I am listening to describe something that is going to happen in the near future in order to show that it will indeed happen. In other words, he is agreeing to the woman’s request that he Hear what she has to say. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use the future tense or express the meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: [I will be listening] or [I agree to listen]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
