6:3a

that it may go well with you: This verse continues the Old Testament quotation that started in 6:2a.

Here are some other ways to say that it may go well with you :

that everything that happens to you will be good
-or-
that your life may be full of blessings

6:3b

and that you may have a long life: The clause that you may have a long life means “that you will live a long time.” For example:

you may live a long time (Good News Translation)

There may be an idiom in your language to express a person living till old age.

on the earth: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as on the earth is literally “in the land.” In the original quotation in Exodus 20:12, “land” refers to Canaan, but here it refers to the earth where we live. In your translation, it may be more natural to leave this implicit. For example:

and you will have a long and happy life (Contemporary English Version)
