OET (OET-RV) But as for Ishma’el, I’ve heard your request. Listen, I’ll bless him and make him fruitful and give him very many descendants. He’ll father twelve rulers and I’ll make him into a great nation,
וּֽלְיִשְׁמָעֵ֘אל שְׁמַעְתִּיךָ֒
and,as_for,Ishmael heard,you
Alternate translation: “As for Ishmael, I have heard your request for him.”
הִנֵּ֣ה
see/lo/see!
Alternate translation: “So behold” or “So here is what I will do:”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בֵּרַ֣כְתִּי אֹת֗וֹ
bless DOM=him/it
See how you translated bless in verse 16. Alternate translation: “I will also prosper him,”
וְהִרְבֵּיתִ֥י אֹת֖וֹ בִּמְאֹ֣ד מְאֹ֑ד
and,multiply DOM=him/it in/on/at/with,greatly very
Alternate translation: “so that he has a great many descendants.”
יוֹלִ֔יד
father
Alternate translation: “In fact, he will have”
שְׁנֵים עָשָׂ֤ר נְשִׂיאִם֙
two ten princes

וּנְתַתִּ֖יו לְג֥וֹי גָּדֽוֹל
and=I_will_give=him/it to=(a)_nation big/great
Alternate translation: “and I will make him the father of a great ethnic group.” or “and I will make him and his descendants become a great ethnic group.”
