וְהָיָ֗ה כִּרְאוֹת֛וֹ כִּי אֵ֥ין הַנַּ֖עַר וָמֵ֑ת
and=it_was when,sees,he that/for/because/then/when not the,boy and,die
The phrase then it will happen introduces an important hypothetical event here and helps create suspense so that readers will wonder what the outcome will be. Many translations omit the phrase because it is not natural in their language. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “if he sees that his son is gone he will die!” or “then he will die when he sees that his youngest son is not with us!”

וְהוֹרִ֨ידוּ עֲבָדֶ֜יךָ אֶת־שֵׂיבַ֨ת עַבְדְּךָ֥ אָבִ֛ינוּ בְּיָג֖וֹן
and,bring_down your=servants DOM gray_hairs servant,your father,our in/on/at/with,sorrow
Consider what is the best way to translate this hypothetical situation in your language. Also, see how you translated “bring … gray head down in sorrow to Sheol” in Gen 42:38, and a similar phrase in 44:29. Alternate translation: “Yes, we would bring our elderly father so much sorrow that he would die and go” or “In that way, we would be responsible for bringing our elderly father …”
שְׁאֹֽלָה
sheol,to
Consider again how you translated Sheol in the book of Genesis. See Gen 37:35; 42:38; 44:29, 31.
44:1-34 The brothers appeared to have changed; they had shown remorse over what they had done to Joseph, and they showed integrity in returning the money and in bringing Benjamin. Given a chance to get rid of Rachel’s other son, Benjamin, would they do it?

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.
