Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οἵ & βάρβαροι
the & foreigners
Luke is using the word barbarians in the specific sense that it had in his culture. He means people who did not speak Greek or Latin. From his perspective and the perspective of the others with him, they were “foreigners,” but from their own perspectives, they were “natives” of the island. It may be appropriate to describe them that way in your translation. Alternate translation: “the natives”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
οὐ τὴν τυχοῦσαν φιλανθρωπίαν
not_‹just› the /having/_been_ordinary human_kindness
Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “extraordinary benevolence”
OET (OET-LV) And the foreigners were_bringing_about not just the having_been_ordinary human_kindness to_us, because/for having_lit a_fire, they_received all us, because_of the rain which having_approached, and because_of the cold.

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.
