וְ⁠הִתְבָּרֲכ֣וּ בְ⁠זַרְעֲ⁠ךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֥י הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_multiply DOM your(ms)=seed/fruit like,the_stars_of the=heavens and,I_will_give to,offspring_of,your DOM all/each/any/every the,lands (the),these and,they_will_bless_themselves by,offspring_of,your 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 your offspring I will bless all the people groups on earth]
