uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר יָצָא֙ מִ⁠בֶּ֣טֶן אִמּ֔⁠וֹ עָר֛וֹם יָשׁ֥וּב לָ⁠לֶ֖כֶת כְּ⁠שֶׁ⁠בָּ֑א

just=as he/it_went_forth from,the_womb_of his/its=mother naked again to=go just,as,he_came

The point of this comparison is that just as he went out from the womb of his mother, naked, entering the world with nothing, so also he will go again and leave the world with nothing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [Just as he came out of his mother’s womb with nothing, so he will leave this world with nothing]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

יָשׁ֥וּב לָ⁠לֶ֖כֶת כְּ⁠שֶׁ⁠בָּ֑א

again to=go just,as,he_came

The pronoun he refers to the wealthy man described in the previous verses. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [that man will go again, just as he came]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יָדֽ⁠וֹ

in=his/its=hand

See how you translated the similar expression in 5:14.

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
