OET (OET-LV) From_these the_coastlands_of they_separated the_nations in_their_lands each to_his/its_language to_their_clans in_their_nations.
OET (OET-RV) From all those descendants, people spread out into areas near the coast, each group with their own language, and with all the clans making up their nations.
מֵ֠אֵלֶּה
from=these
This phrase probably refers to Japheth’s descendants (verses 2-4), especially since the descendants of his brothers Ham (verse 20) and Shem (verse 31) are summarized in a similar way.
נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙
they_separated coastlands the=nations
Alternate translation: [came the people groups who lived in regions beside the sea. They moved to different places and settled]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם
in=their=lands
Alternate translation: [in their own regions]
אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ
(a)_man to=his/its=language
Consider whether it is more natural in your language to break up this long sentence and start a new sentence here (or later in this verse). Alternate translation: [They all spoke their own languages]
Note 2 topic: translate-kinship
לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם
to=their=clans
Here the term clans specifically refers to a group of families who are descended from a common ancestor. If your language has a specific word for clans, it would be appropriate to use it here. Alternate translation: [and each of them lived in their own extended families] or [They each had their own family groups]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
מֵ֠אֵלֶּה נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙ בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃
from=these they_separated coastlands the=nations in=their=lands (a)_man to=his/its=language to=their=clans (Some words not found in UHB: from=these they_separated coastlands the=nations in=their=lands (a)_man to=his/its=language to=their=clans in=their=nations )
for some languages, it may be clearer to change the order of the phrases in this verse. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [Japheth’s descendants spread out and settled near/by the Mediterranean Sea. They all formed their own family groups, which grew/multiplied and became their own people groups that spoke their own languages and lived in their own territories/regions]
10:5 seafaring peoples . . . various lands: They settled around the Mediterranean and on various islands.
• language: This occurred after the Tower of Babel episode (11:1-9; see study note on 10:1–11:9).
OET (OET-LV) From_these the_coastlands_of they_separated the_nations in_their_lands each to_his/its_language to_their_clans in_their_nations.
OET (OET-RV) From all those descendants, people spread out into areas near the coast, each group with their own language, and with all the clans making up their nations.
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.
