OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was ˊĒr the_firstborn of_Yəhūdāh evil in/on_both_eyes_of of_YHWH and_put_todeath_him YHWH.
וַיְהִ֗י עֵ֚ר בְּכ֣וֹר יְהוּדָ֔ה
and=he/it_was ˊĒr firstborn Yehuda
Some languages leave the firstborn of Judah implied here since Er was already called the firstborn in verse 6. The Hebrew text repeats that information here to emphasize Er’s relationship to Judah in the following events. Do what is best in your language.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיְהִ֗י & רַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה
and=he/it_was & evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH
The Hebrew text does not specify what Er had done wrong, so neither should your translation. See how you translated the idiom in the eyes of Yahweh in Gen 6:8. Alternate translation: “did something that Yahweh judged to be evil”
וַיְמִתֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה
and,put_~_todeath,him YHWH
Alternate translation: “so Yahweh took his life.”
38:7 That Er was a wicked man is not surprising, since his mother was a Canaanite and his father a wayward Israelite.

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.
