OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said by_the_life of_YHWH god_of_your if there_is to_me food if/because (if) the_fullness_of a_palm_of flour in/on/at/with_jar and_a_little_of oil in/on/at/with_jug and_wow_I am_gathering two wood(s) and_go and_prepare_it to_me and_for_son_of_my and_eat_it and_die.
OET (OET-RV) But she replied, “As your God Yahweh lives, I don’t have any bread at all—only a handful of flour in the jar, and a little bit of oil in the jug. See, I’m gathering a few bits of firewood so I can make a little bread for me and my son. After we’ve eaten that, then we’ll die.”
As Yahweh your God lives
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said he/it_lived YHWH God_of,your if there_is to=me bread that/for/because/then/when if fullness_of hand_of flour in/on/at/with,jar and,a_little_of oil in/on/at/with,jug and=wow=I gathering a_couple_of sticks and,go and,prepare,it to=me and,for,son_of,my and,eat,it and,die )
This phrase is an oath to emphasize that what she will say is true.

that we may eat it, and die
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said he/it_lived YHWH God_of,your if there_is to=me bread that/for/because/then/when if fullness_of hand_of flour in/on/at/with,jar and,a_little_of oil in/on/at/with,jug and=wow=I gathering a_couple_of sticks and,go and,prepare,it to=me and,for,son_of,my and,eat,it and,die )
It is implied that they will die because they do not have anymore food. Alternate translation: “that we may eat. Afterwards, we will starve to death”
17:12 by the Lord your God (literally as surely as the Lord your God lives): The wording reflects Elijah’s oath and pronouncement to Ahab (17:1). The Gentile woman’s oath does not necessarily claim that the Lord is her god, but it does affirm to Elijah that what she says is the truth.

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.
