OET (OET-LV) and_ ʼAⱱrām _he/it_said to Sarai THERE maidservant_of_your is_in_hand_of_your do to/for_her/it the_good in_eyes_of_your and_she_afflicted_her Sarai and_she_fled from_before_of_her.
OET (OET-RV) “Listen,” Abram replied, “She’s your slave to do what she’s told. Do whatever you think best.” So Sarai started mistreating Hagar, and so she ran away.

Abram is using the term Behold to focus Sarai’s attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Look]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
שִׁפְחָתֵךְ֙ בְּיָדֵ֔ךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Avram to/towards Sarai see/lo/see! maidservant_of,your [is]_in,hand_of,your do to/for=her/it the,good in,eyes_of,your and,she,afflicted_her Sarai and,she_fled from,before_of,her )
The phrase in your hand is an idiom that refers to having control or authority over someone. Consider whether or not your language has a similar idiom. Also see how you translated maidservant in [verses 1–3](../16/01.md), 5. Alternate translation: [your slave woman is under your authority] or [you have authority over your slave]
עֲשִׂי־לָ֖הּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Avram to/towards Sarai see/lo/see! maidservant_of,your [is]_in,hand_of,your do to/for=her/it the,good in,eyes_of,your and,she,afflicted_her Sarai and,she_fled from,before_of,her )
Alternate translation: [So you can do to her]

The phrase in your eyes is an idiom that refers to Sarai’s opinion. See how you translated a similar idiom in her eyes in [verses 4](../16/04.md) and 5. Alternate translation: [whatever you decide is good] or [whatever pleases you]
וַתְּעַנֶּ֣הָ שָׂרַ֔י
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Avram to/towards Sarai see/lo/see! maidservant_of,your [is]_in,hand_of,your do to/for=her/it the,good in,eyes_of,your and,she,afflicted_her Sarai and,she_fled from,before_of,her )
See how you translated afflict in Genesis [15:13](../15/13.md). Alternate translation: [So Sarai oppressed her greatly] or [So Sarai treated her very badly]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
וַתִּבְרַ֖ח מִפָּנֶֽיהָ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Avram to/towards Sarai see/lo/see! maidservant_of,your [is]_in,hand_of,your do to/for=her/it the,good in,eyes_of,your and,she,afflicted_her Sarai and,she_fled from,before_of,her )
Make sure it is clear in your translation that Hagar is the one who fled, not Sarai. Alternate translation: [and Hagar ran away from Sarai]
OET (OET-LV) and_ ʼAⱱrām _he/it_said to Sarai THERE maidservant_of_your is_in_hand_of_your do to/for_her/it the_good in_eyes_of_your and_she_afflicted_her Sarai and_she_fled from_before_of_her.
OET (OET-RV) “Listen,” Abram replied, “She’s your slave to do what she’s told. Do whatever you think best.” So Sarai started mistreating Hagar, and so she ran away.
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.
