OET (OET-RV) May peoples serve you,
⇔ and may nations bow down to you.
⇔ Be master over your brothers,
⇔ and may your mother’s sons bow down to you.
⇔ May those who curse you be cursed,
⇔ and may those who bless you be blessed.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
יַֽעַבְד֣וּךָ עַמִּ֗ים וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֤וּ לְךָ֙ לְאֻמִּ֔ים
serve,you peoples (Some words not found in UHB: serve,you peoples and,bow_down to/for=yourself(m) nations be master over,brothers,your and,bow_down to/for=yourself(m) sons_of mother's,your curse,you cursing and,bless,you blessed )
If possible in your language, it is best to keep both halves of this parallelism, which is used to emphasize what Isaac is saying to Jacob. Alternate translation: “May people groups serve you and your descendants, and may they bow down to you in respect”
הֱוֵ֤ה גְבִיר֙
be master
Alternate translation: “May you rule” or “You will even rule”
לְאַחֶ֔יךָ
over,brothers,your
Jacob only had one brother, so this phrase refers here to Esau and his descendants. Alternate translation: “over your brother and his descendants,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּ לְךָ֖ בְּנֵ֣י אִמֶּ֑ךָ
and,bow_down to/for=yourself(m) sons_of mother's,your
This clause is another way of referring to Jacob's authority over Esau and his descendants. Consider again how you translated the singular you in verses 28-29. You could use a plural you here or you could say “you and your descendants”. Alternate translation: “and they will bow down to you in submission.” or “Yes, they too will submit to you and bow down to you.”
אֹרְרֶ֣יךָ אָר֔וּר וּֽמְבָרֲכֶ֖יךָ בָּרֽוּךְ
curse,you cursing and,bless,you blessed
See how you translated curse in Gen 12:3. Alternate translation: “Whoever curses you will be cursed by God, but whoever blesses you will be blessed by him.” or “I ask God to curse those who curse you, and I ask him to bless those who bless you.”
27:1-40 Jacob got his father Isaac’s blessing through deception. In this story, an entire family tries to carry out their responsibilities by physical means rather than by faith. Faith would have provided Rebekah and Jacob a more honorable solution to the crisis.

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.
