OET (OET-RV) “Let all honour be given to God in the highest, and peace on earth to all people along with good will.”
δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις Θεῷ
glory in /the/_highest ˱to˲_God
This could mean: (1) the angels are describing where God should receive honor. In that case in the highest would mean “in the highest place,” that is, “in heaven,” and the phrase would parallel “on earth.” Alternate translation: “Give honor to God in heaven” (2) the angels are describing what kind of honor God should receive. Alternate translation: “Give the highest honor to God”
ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκίας
in among humans ˱with˲_good_pleasure
This could refer to: (1) God’s good pleasure with people. Alternate translation: “among people with whom God is pleased” (2) people who show good pleasure or “good will” to one another. Alternate translation: “among people of good will”

ἀνθρώποις
humans
Here, the term men has a generic meaning that includes all people. Alternate translation: “people”
2:14 Glory to God in highest heaven: This short hymn is known as the Gloria in excelsis Deo from the first line of the Latin translation. The Messiah’s coming brings glory to God in the heavens and peace to humans on earth.
• peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased: Peace indicates total well-being, not just the absence of hostility. The traditional translation, “on earth peace, good will toward men” (KJV), is based on the reading of some late manuscripts. The NLT text follows more reliable early manuscripts. Peace comes to the recipients of God’s grace.
OET (OET-RV) “Let all honour be given to God in the highest, and peace on earth to all people along with good will.”
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.
