OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said Lēʼāh in/on/at/with_happy_I if/because call_happy_me daughters and_she/it_called/named DOM his/its_name ʼĀshēr.
OET (OET-RV) and Le’ah said, “How blessed I am because women will call me blessed.” So she named him ‘Asher’ (which means ‘blessed’).
בְּאָשְׁרִ֕י
in/on/at/with,happy,I
Although many translations have “happy” in this verse instead of “blessed,” the Hebrew noun (and the verb it is based on) is more general and has to do with a person’s blessed state (which results in joy and happiness). The same Hebrew word is used in Psalm 1:1, and the equivalent Greek word is used in Luke 1:48 and Matthew 5:3-11. Alternate translation: “I am truly blessed!” or “God has greatly blessed me!”
כִּ֥י אִשְּׁר֖וּנִי בָּנ֑וֹת
that/for/because/then/when call_~_happy,me women
Alternate translation: “Now other women will say that I am blessed by God.” or “Now other women will say that God has blessed me.”
וַתִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמ֖וֹ
and=she/it_called/named DOM his/its=name
Alternate translation: “So she named him” or “So she gave him the name”

ʼĀshēr
If you include the meaning of Asher’s name in your translation or in a footnote, make sure it matches the way you translated blessed earlier in this verse.
30:10-13 Gad was the name of a god of fortune. Asher was the name of a god of luck. These names reflect Leah’s pagan background, but there is no indication that she believed in these gods.

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.
