OET (OET-RV) So God split open the little hollow that’s at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. Because of that, he called it ‘En-Hakkore’ (which means ‘the fountain of the one who called out’), which is in Lehi to this day.

The author is speaking as if Samson’s spirit had literally left his body and then returned. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and his energy returned”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַיִּקְרָ֣א שְׁמָ֗הּ

It might seem that the expression called its name contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “he named it”

Note 3 topic: translate-transliterate

עֵ֤ין הַקּוֹרֵא֙

עֵין הַקּוֹרֵא

The word En-hakkore is the name of a place. It means “The Spring of the Caller.” Samson gave it this name because Yahweh provided this spring when he called out to him. In your translation, you could spell this name the way it sounds in your language but then add an explanation of its meaning. Alternate translation: “En-hakkore, which means ‘The Spring of the Caller’“

The author assumes that the reader will understand that by day, he means the time at which he is writing. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “at the present time”
