Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
וְהָאֲמֻצִּ֣ים
and,the_strong,[horses]
Zechariah is using the adjective strong as a noun to mean a certain kind of horse. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [And the strong horses]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְהִתְהַלֵּ֣ך בָּאָ֔רֶץ
to,go_about on_the=earth
Zechariah is using to walk about in the earth as a common expression of the culture to mean “to patrol the earth.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to patrol the earth … Go, walk about in the earth … and they walked about in the earth]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֕אמֶר
and=he/it_said
The pronoun he refers to the angel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the angel said to them]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
לְכ֖וּ הִתְהַלְּכ֣וּ בָאָ֑רֶץ
go patrol in/on_the=earth
The words translated as Go, walk about in the earth are imperatives, but they communicate permission rather than a command. If the imperatives do not communicate permission for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates permission. Alternate translation: [Go ahead and walk about in the earth]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
וַתִּתְהַלַּ֖כְנָה בָּאָֽרֶץ
and,they_went_about on_the=earth
The pronoun they refers to the strong horses. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the strong ones walked about in the earth]
Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
וְהָאֲמֻצִּ֣ים יָצְא֗וּ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ֙ לָלֶ֨כֶת֙ לְהִתְהַלֵּ֣ך בָּאָ֔רֶץ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לְכ֖וּ הִתְהַלְּכ֣וּ בָאָ֑רֶץ וַתִּתְהַלַּ֖כְנָה בָּאָֽרֶץ
and,the_strong,[horses] they_came_out and,they_have_sought to=go to,go_about on_the=earth and=he/it_said go patrol in/on_the=earth and,they_went_about on_the=earth
Here, sought to go marks to walk about in the earth as the goal or purpose of went out. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

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.
