וַיְהִ֣י כִּרְאֹ֣ת
and=he/it_was as_soon_as,saw
Verse 30 is a flashback of what had happened before Laban ran to the well (verse 29). Consider what is the best way to express this in your language. For some languages it may be necessary to combine verses 29-30 and put the sentences in the order that things actually happened. For example, “Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban. When he saw the nose ring and the bracelets she was wearing and heard her tell what the man had said to her, he hurried out to meet the man. He found/saw him standing with his camels beside the well.” If you do this, you would mark these combined verses as 29-30. Alternate translation: “This is how it was When he had seen” or “As soon as he had seen”

DOM the,ring and=DOM the,bracelets on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms sister's,his
Some languages have a specific term for “younger sister” that fits well here. Also see how you translated nose ring and bracelets in verse 22. Alternate translation: “the nose ring and the bracelets that his sister was wearing”

וּכְשָׁמְע֗וֹ אֶת דִּבְרֵ֞י רִבְקָ֤ה אֲחֹתוֹ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כֹּֽה דִבֶּ֥ר אֵלַ֖י הָאִ֑ישׁ
and,when,heard,he DOM words Riⱱqāh sister,his to=say thus said to=me the=man
Consider whether it is more natural in your language to use a direct quote or indirect quote here. If you want to make it clear who the man refers to, you should still translate it generally, for example, “the man I met at the well” because when Rebekah said this, she did not yet know who he was. Alternate translation: “and had heard her tell what the man at the well had said to her,”

Alternate translation: “he went out to where the man was,”
וְהִנֵּ֛ה עֹמֵ֥ד
and=see/lo/see! standing
The word behold emphasizes what follows it. Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and there he was, standing” or “He saw him standing”

Alternate translation: “with his camels at the spring” or “near the well with his camels.”
