OET (OET-LV) And_ʼAⱱrāhām surely_(become) he_will_become to_(a)_nation great and_mighty and_they_will_be_blessed in_him/it all_of the_nations_of the_earth/land.
OET (OET-RV) His descendants are certainly going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him and them,
וְאַ֨בְרָהָ֔ם הָי֧וֹ יִֽהְיֶ֛ה
and,Abraham to_become will_belong
Some translations begin a new sentence here. Other translations continue the rhetorical question (or statement) in [verse 17](../18/17.md) to the end of [verse 18](../18/18.md) and say, “since Abraham will …” or “seeing that he will …” Alternate translation: [he will surely be the ancestor of] or [After all, Abraham and his descendants will surely multiply and become]
לְג֥וֹי גָּד֖וֹל וְעָצ֑וּם
to=(a)_nation (Some words not found in UHB: and,Abraham to_become will_belong to=(a)_nation big/great and,mighty and=they_will_be_blessed in=him/it all nations_of the=earth/land )
See how you translated “great nation” in Genesis [12:2](../12/02.md). Alternate translation: [a great and powerful ethnic group]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ב֔וֹ
in=him/it
This phrase refers to Abraham and his descendants, including ultimately the Messiah. See the note about this at Genesis [12:3](../12/03.md). Alternate translation: [and through him] or [and because of him] or [and by means of him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנִ֨בְרְכוּ ב֔וֹ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ
and=they_will_be_blessed in=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: and,Abraham to_become will_belong to=(a)_nation big/great and,mighty and=they_will_be_blessed in=him/it all nations_of the=earth/land )
The expression will be blessed is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [and in him I will bless all the nations of the earth]

OET (OET-RV) His descendants are certainly going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him and 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.
