OET (OET-RV) So Shem and Yafet took a robe, and holding it between their shoulders they walked backwards into the tent and covered their father’s nakedness. (Their faces were towards the tent entrance, so they didn’t see his nakedness.)

Alternate translation: “Then Shem and Japheth took”
אֶת הַשִּׂמְלָ֗ה

Alternate translation: “and went backward into the tent”

Alternate translation: “and used it to cover their naked father.”
וּפְנֵיהֶם֙ אֲחֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית
and,faces,their turned_away
Alternate translation: “As they did that, they kept their eyes looking away from him,” or “As they did that, they looked away from him,”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְעֶרְוַ֥ת אֲבִיהֶ֖ם לֹ֥א רָאֽוּ
and,nakedness father's,their not see
Consider whether it is better here in your language to refer to Noah with a noun phrase or a pronoun. Alternate translation: “so that they did not see his nakedness.” or “so that they did not see him naked.”
9:20-27 The story of Noah begins with him walking in righteousness and obeying the Lord (6:9), but it ends with him lying drunk and naked in his tent and then delivering a curse on Canaan. Even after the great flood, the human race exhibited some of the same sinful characteristics that warranted the judgment in the first place. Special attention is given to the cursed origin of the Canaanites, the corrupt and idolatrous people Israel would later displace from the Promised Land (see also 15:16 and study note; Lev 18:3; 20:23).

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.
