וַיֵּ֥צֵא קַ֖יִן
and=he/it_went_out Qayin/(Cain)
Alternate translation: “After that, Cain went away”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה
from=to/for=face/front/presence YHWH
Yahweh is everywhere, so this probably means that after talking to Yahweh, Cain left that place. Alternate translation: “from Yahweh” or “from the place where Yahweh had been talking to him”
וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב
and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived
Alternate translation: “and settled” or “and started living”

The original readers of the Hebrew text knew that the name Nod means “wandering”. Usually translators transliterate (copy or borrow) the name from the Hebrew text, and they might also include the meaning of the name in the text or in a footnote. If you do that here, the meaning should be similar to how you translated “wanderer” in verses 12 and 14.
קִדְמַת עֵֽדֶן
east_of ˊĒden
Consider again how you translated “the land/region of Eden” and “the Garden of Eden” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 2:8, 10, 15; 3:23-24; 4:16. Alternate translation: “which was east of the land called Eden.” or “which was east of Eden Land.”
4:16 The name Nod speaks more of Cain’s fate (see 4:12, 14) than of a specific geographical area (the location is unknown). Cain’s sin denied him rest and a sense of belonging.
• Cain’s exile east of Eden is another point of connection with Adam’s story (cp. 3:24). Cain did not learn from his father’s mistake, so he also suffered estrangement from the ground and exile to the east (see study note on 3:24).

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.
