OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_took Sarai the_wife of_Abram DOM Hāgār the_from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim) servant_her from_the_end/extremity of_ten years to_lived of_Abram in_land of_Kinaˊan and_she/it_gave DOM_her/it to_Abram her/its_husband/man to_him/it to/for_(a)_woman.
OET (OET-RV) So Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian slave, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife for him.
וַתִּקַּ֞ח שָׂרַ֣י אֵֽשֶׁת אַבְרָ֗ם
and=she/it_took Sarai wife_of Avram
In the Hebrew text, the phrase “Abram’s wife” is repeated (in verses 1 and 3) to emphasize Sarai’s relationship to Abram in contrast to Hagar. For some languages it is overly redundant to repeat that phrase, and so they leave it implied here. However, if possible, it is best to keep this repetition in your translation. Alternate translation: “Then Sarai took”
אֶת הָגָ֤ר הַמִּצְרִית֙ שִׁפְחָתָ֔הּ
DOM Hāgār the,Egyptian servant,her
The word Egyptian is repeated (in verses 1 and 3) to emphasize the fact that Hagar was a foreigner. If possible, it is best to keep this repetition in your translation. Alternate translation: “her Egyptian servant woman Hagar,” or “her servant Hagar,”
מִקֵּץ֙ עֶ֣שֶׂר שָׁנִ֔ים לְשֶׁ֥בֶת אַבְרָ֖ם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן
from_the=end/extremity ten years to,lived Avram in=land Kenaan
Alternate translation: “after Abram and Sarai had lived in the land of Canaan for ten years,”

and=she/it_gave DOM=her/it to,Abram her/its=husband/man to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman
For most languages it is clearer and more natural to change the order of the clauses in this verse and say, “So Abram’s wife Sarai gave her servant Hagar to her husband Abram to be his second wife. This/That happened after Abram and Sarai had lived in the land/region of Canaan for ten years.” Make sure your translation does not sound like verse 3 happened ten years after Abram agreed to sleep with Hagar. Alternate translation: “and she gave her to her husband Abram to be his second wife.”
16:1-16 While waiting for their promised son to be born, Abram and Sarai attempted an alternate plan that was not in keeping with faith.

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.
