OET (OET-RV) Hurry up, escape there, because I am not able to do a thing until you go there.”
¶ That’s why they renamed the town to ‘Zoar’ (which means ‘small’).
מַהֵר֙
quickly
Alternate translation: “But go quickly now and”
הִמָּלֵ֣ט שָׁ֔מָּה
escape there,to
Consider again how you translated escape in verses 17, 19-20, 22. Alternate translation: “flee there,” or “flee to that town,”
כִּ֣י לֹ֤א אוּכַל֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת
that/for/because/then/when not can for=doing
This clause implies that Yahweh will not allow the angel to destroy anything until Lot and his family arrive safely in the town of Zoar. Alternate translation: “because I am not allowed to do anything” or “because I must wait to do anything” or “because God will not allow me to do anything”
עַד בֹּאֲךָ֖ שָׁ֑מָּה
until arrive,you there,to
Alternate translation: “until you reach there safely.” or “until you are safely there.”
עַל כֵּ֛ן
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so
This phrase refers back to what Lot said in verse 20, not what the angel just said. Alternate translation: “That is why” or “Since Lot said the town was little”
קָרָ֥א שֵׁם הָעִ֖יר
he/it_called name_of the=city
See how you translated they called the name in Gen 11:9 and 16:14. Alternate translation: “the town was called” or “they called that town”
צֽוֹעַר
Zoar
If this implied information is included in your translation or in a footnote, be consistent here with how you translated the word “little” or “small” in verse 20.
19:1-38 The Canaanites were an evil, corrupting people. God judged their morally bankrupt civilization and warned others against becoming like them. It was difficult to get Lot and his family out of Sodom; it was more difficult to get Sodom out of Lot and his family. This chapter helped later Israelites to understand the moral and spiritual threat of the peoples living in and around the Promised Land, such as the Canaanites and Lot’s descendants, the Moabites and the Ammonites (see Num 22–25; Deut 23:3-6; Josh 24:9; Judg 10:7-9; 11:4-5; 1 Sam 10:27; 1 Kgs 11:1-3; 2 Kgs 24:2).

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.
