Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיְמָאֲנ֣וּ
and,they_refused
The pronoun they refers to the ancestors of the people Yahweh is currently addressing, not to the current audience. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [But their ancestors refused]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיִּתְּנ֥וּ כָתֵ֖ף סֹרָ֑רֶת
and,they_gave shoulder stubborn
Here Zechariah is speaking of the people as if they were stubborn animals that gave a stubborn shoulder and refused to be led. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and refused to be led or directed]

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.
