OET (OET-LV) From_charge of_falsehood you_will_be_distant and_innocent and_righteous do_not kill if/because not I_will_declare_righteous a_wicked_[person].
OET (OET-RV) Stay far way from deceptive words. You mustn’t kill innocent or honest people because I won’t allow wicked people to be declared innocent.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מִדְּבַר־שֶׁ֖קֶר תִּרְחָ֑ק
from,charge false keep_far
Here distance is used to tell the Israelites to have no part in deception. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not speak deceptively” or “Do not join a false matter”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וְנָקִ֤י וְצַדִּיק֙
and,innocent and,righteous
These two terms mean very similar things, both of which contrast with the wicked later in the verse. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you can combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “and … the person who has not done anything wrong or the person who always does what is right” or “and … the person who does right and not wrong”
לֹא־אַצְדִּ֖יק רָשָֽׁע
not acquit guilty
Alternate translation: “I will not find the wicked not guilty” or “I will not say that a wicked person is innocent”
23:7 God’s character is the motive for righteous behavior (see 22:22-24, 27).

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.
