OET (OET-RV) David answered Gad, “This is very distressing, but please let Yahweh be the one to punish me because he’s very merciful—don’t let other men be the ones.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards Gād in_~_distress to=me very fall please in,the_hand_of YHWH that/for/because/then/when great compassion(s)_of,his and,in,the_hand_of humankind not fall )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since his mercies are many gives the reason why David says let us fall into the hand of Yahweh. Alternate translation: [since the mercies of Yahweh are many, let us fall into his hand]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נִפְּלָה & בְיַד־יְהוָה֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards Gād in_~_distress to=me very fall please in,the_hand_of YHWH that/for/because/then/when great compassion(s)_of,his and,in,the_hand_of humankind not fall )
Here, hand represents the capability of a person. In this case, it refers to Yahweh’s power to punish and his ability to show mercy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [let Yahweh be the one to punish us]

not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards Gād in_~_distress to=me very fall please in,the_hand_of YHWH that/for/because/then/when great compassion(s)_of,his and,in,the_hand_of humankind not fall )
In this verse David uses the first-person singular pronoun me when asking God not to let him fall into human hands, even though he had just used “us” when speaking about falling into God’s hands. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use plural pronouns consistently, since David is speaking on behalf of all Israel. Alternate translation: [do not let us fall]

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.
