Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

BrLXX Καὶ εἶπε Γεδεὼν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, μὴ δὴ ὀργισθήτω ὁ θυμός σου ἐν ἐμοὶ, καὶ λαλήσω ἔτι ἅπαξ· πειράσω δὴ καί γε ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐν τῷ πόκῳ· καὶ γενέσθω ἡ ξηρασία ἐπὶ τὸν πόκον μόνον, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν γενηθήτω δρόσος.

BrTr And Gedeon said to God, Let not, I pray thee, thine anger be kindled with me, and I will speak yet once; I will even yet make one trial more with the fleece: let now the drought be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.
ULT Then Gideon said to the true God, “Do not let your anger burn against me, but may I speak only this time. May I please test only this time with the fleece? May it be, I pray, dry on the fleece, only it, but on all of the ground may there be dew.”
UST Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, but let me ask you to do one more thing. Tonight I will put the fleece out again. This time, let the fleece remain dry, while the ground is wet with the dew.”
BSB § Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַאֲדַבְּרָ֖ה אַ֣ךְ הַפָּ֑עַם אֲנַסֶּ֤ה נָּא־רַק־הַפַּ֨עַם֙
and,speak just the,one_more test please only the=time//this_time
Since Gideon has already done a test with the fleece once, by only this time he means, in both instances, “just one more time.” You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “but may I speak just one more time. May I please test just one more time”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַל־יִ֤חַר אַפְּךָ֙ בִּ֔י
not burn anger,your in/on/at/with,me
See the discussion of this phrase in the General Introduction to Judges. Alternate translation: “May you not be angry with me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יְהִי & חֹ֤רֶב אֶל־הַגִּזָּה֙ לְבַדָּ֔הּ
let_it_be & dry to/towards the,fleece by,herself,
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of dryness, you could express the same idea in another way. See how you translated the similar expression in 6:37. Alternate translation: “may only the fleece be dry”
