TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:20-27 The story of Noah begins with him walking in righteousness and obeying the Lord (6:9), but it ends with him lying drunk and naked in his tent and then delivering a curse on Canaan. Even after the great flood, the human race exhibited some of the same sinful characteristics that warranted the judgment in the first place. Special attention is given to the cursed origin of the Canaanites, the corrupt and idolatrous people Israel would later displace from the Promised Land (see also 15:16 and study note; Lev 18:3; 20:23).

and=he/it_took name_of and,Japheth

Alternate translation: “Then Shem and Japheth took”

אֶת הַ⁠שִּׂמְלָ֗ה

DOM the,garment

This garment would have probably been fairly large, big enough to cover Noah’s body. Alternate translation: “a cloak,”

וַ⁠יָּשִׂ֨ימוּ֙ עַל שְׁכֶ֣ם שְׁנֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

and,laid on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Shekem both_of=them

Alternate translation: “put it between them over their shoulders”

וַ⁠יֵּֽלְכוּ֙ אֲחֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית

and,walked backward

Alternate translation: “and went backward into the tent”

וַ⁠יְכַסּ֕וּ אֵ֖ת עֶרְוַ֣ת אֲבִי⁠הֶ֑ם

and,covered DOM nakedness father,their

Alternate translation: “and used it to cover their naked father.”

וּ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶם֙ אֲחֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית

and,faces,their turned_away

Alternate translation: “As they did that, they kept their eyes looking away from him,” or “As they did that, they looked away from him,”

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠עֶרְוַ֥ת אֲבִי⁠הֶ֖ם לֹ֥א רָאֽוּ

and,nakedness father's,their not see

Consider whether it is better here in your language to refer to Noah with a noun phrase or a pronoun. Alternate translation: “so that they did not see his nakedness.” or “so that they did not see him naked.”
