OET (OET-LV) And_they_will_go the_inhabitants_of one_city to one_city to_say let_us_go indeed_(go) to_entreat DOM the_face_of YHWH and_to_seek DOM YHWH soldiers/messengers I_will_go also I.
OET (OET-RV) The inhabitants of one city will go to another city and say, ‘Let’s go quickly to Yerushalem to make our requests to Yahweh—to ask for the favour of Commander-in-chief Yahweh. We ourselves are also going.’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה
DOM face/surface_of YHWH
Here, the face of Yahweh represents the presence of Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the presence of Yahweh]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵלְכָ֤ה הָלוֹךְ֙ & אֵלְכָ֖ה גַּם־אָֽנִי
to=say go to_go & going also/yet I
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. For example, you could translate the direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [saying that they should quickly go … And that they themselves would also go]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
אֵלְכָ֖ה גַּם־אָֽנִי
going (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_go inhabitants_of one(fs) to/towards one(fs) to=say go to_go to,entreat DOM face/surface_of YHWH and,to,seek DOM YHWH armies/messengers going also/yet I )
The speaker is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I also will go already includes this meaning. The speaker is doing that to emphasize his own eagerness to join in seeking Yahweh. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [I myself will also 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.
