נָתַ֤תִּי לְפָנֶ֨יךָ֙ & אֶת־הַֽחַיִּ֖ים וְאֶת־הַטּ֑וֹב וְאֶת־הַמָּ֖וֶת וְאֶת־הָרָֽע
(Some words not found in UHB: see I_give to=your=face the=day DOM the=life and=DOM (the),good and=DOM (the),death and=DOM (the),evil )
Here Moses is speaking as if he had literally set physical objects in front of the Israelites. He means that he is presenting them with choices or options. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am presenting to you life and good and death and evil] or [I am giving you the choice between life and good and death and evil]

נָתַ֤תִּי לְפָנֶ֨יךָ֙
(Some words not found in UHB: see I_give to=your=face the=day DOM the=life and=DOM (the),good and=DOM (the),death and=DOM (the),evil )
See how you translated the same phrase, “set to your faces” in [verse 1](../30/01.md).
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־הַֽחַיִּ֖ים וְאֶת־הַטּ֑וֹב וְאֶת־הַמָּ֖וֶת וְאֶת־הָרָֽע
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: see I_give to=your=face the=day DOM the=life and=DOM (the),good and=DOM (the),death and=DOM (the),evil )
By life and good and death and evil, Moses means they are being given choices to obey God, which leads to life and blessing, or to disobey God, which leads to death and cursing. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to choose what will give you life and what is good, or what will bring you death and what is evil]

OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’ve placed the choice between life and good, and death and evil, in front of you today.
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.
