Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיַּ֣רְא יְהוָ֔ה
and=he/it_saw YHWH
The verb saw is used here as an idiom. Consider whether your language has a similar idiom that would fit well here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Yahweh knew” or “Yahweh was aware”

that/for/because/then/when enough/great(fs) evil the=humankind on_the=earth
Alternate translation: “how evil mankind had become on the earth,” or “that the people on the earth had become very wicked”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְכָל יֵ֨צֶר֙ מַחְשְׁבֹ֣ת לִבּ֔וֹ
and=all form/conception/purpose plans/thoughts_of his/its=heart
In Hebrew culture the heart is considered the center of thoughts and desires. Consider whether your language has a similar idiom. Alternate translation: “and that every desire they had in their minds” or “and that everything they thought about and wanted”
כָּל הַיּֽוֹם
all/each/any/every the=day
Alternate translation: “constantly.”
6:5 everything they thought or imagined (literally every intention of the thoughts of their hearts): In the Old Testament, the heart is the core of volition, thought, and morality (see Prov 4:23). Wicked actions stem from a corrupt inner life.
• consistently and totally evil: Strong language captures the pervasiveness, depth, and persistence of human wickedness. Human nature continued to be corrupt even after the flood (see Gen 8:21).

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.
