OET (OET-LV) From_these they_separated the_coastlands the_nations in_their_lands each to_his/its_language to_their_clans in_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 Mediterranean Sea. They moved to different places and settled”

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,”
לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם
to=their=clans
The word “clan” refers to a group of families who are descended from a common ancestor. Alternate translation: “and each of them lived in their own extended families,” or “They each had their own family groups,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם
in=their=nations
The word nations refers here to people groups, not countries. Also, for some languages it may be clearer to change the order of the phrases in this verse and say, “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.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and they formed their own people groups.” or “which grew and became their own distinct ethnic groups.”
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).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
