OET-LV YHWH god_of_your(pl) he_has_increased you(pl) and_HERE_you(pl) the_day are_like_the_stars_of the_heavens to_increase_in_number.
OET (OET-RV) because your god Yahweh has multiplied you, and wow, now you’re as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם
YHWH God_of,your(pl)
Moses is not using this possessive form your God to indicate that the Israelites possess or control Yahweh but rather to emphasize that Yahweh is the God that the Israelites worship, including himself. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, the God whom we worship]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God_of,your(pl) multiplied ,you(pl) and,here,you(pl) the=day [are]_like,the_stars_of the=heavens to=increase_in_number )
Here Moses says as the stars of the heavens in number as a generalization for emphasis. He means that God has greatly increased the number of Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [almost as numerous as the stars of the heavens]
OET-LV YHWH god_of_your(pl) he_has_increased you(pl) and_HERE_you(pl) the_day are_like_the_stars_of the_heavens to_increase_in_number.
OET (OET-RV) because your god Yahweh has multiplied you, and wow, now you’re as numerous as the stars in the sky.
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.
