(Some words not found in UHB: come=now! let_us_descend and=let_us_confuse there their=language which/who not they_will_understand (a)_man language_of his/its=neighbour )
Most Bible scholars think the plural pronoun us refers here to God and the fact that he is three Persons in one God. So it is best to keep this plural pronoun in your translation. See what you did for similar pronouns in Genesis 1:26. Alternate translation: [let us go to them]

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.
