OET (OET-LV) Not [is]_all the_earth/land to_your_face separate please from_me if the_left and_go_to_the_right and_if the_right and_go_to_the_left.
OET (OET-RV) Isn’t the whole land available to you? So let’s separate. If you go to the left then I’ll go right, or if you go to the right then I’ll go left.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲלֹ֤א כָל הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ
?,not all the=earth/land to=your=face
Abram is using a rhetorical question to emphasize his point. He does not expect an answer from Lot. If that is not clear, you can translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: “You can choose to live anywhere in this entire land.”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י
separate now from,,me
Make sure it is clear in your translation of verse 9 that Abram is being kind to Lot, not mean or rude.
אִם הַשְּׂמֹ֣אל
if the,left
Alternate translation: “if you decide to live in the land to our left,”
וְאֵימִ֔נָה
and,go_to_the_right
Alternate translation: “then I will choose the land to the right,” or “then I will live in the land to our right,”
וְאִם הַיָּמִ֖ין
and=if the,right
For some languages, it may be more natural to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Or if you decide to live in the land to our right,”
וְאַשְׂמְאִֽילָה
and,go_to_the_left
Alternate translation: “then I will choose the land to the left.” or “then I will live in the land to our left.”
13:8-13 Abram, to whom the land was promised, might have told Lot to find his own place. Abram’s generosity was an act of faith; he knew that even if he gave the whole land away, God would still give it to him and his descendants. Abram did not have to cling to things, whereas Lot’s choices were self-seeking.

OET (OET-RV) Isn’t the whole land available to you? So let’s separate. If you go to the left then I’ll go right, or if you go to the right then I’ll go left.”
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.
