OET (OET-RV) “Because the Ivri women aren’t like Mitsri women,” the midwives answered. “They’re more active and give birth before the midwife even gets to them.”

The midwives give a reason, the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, and then they expand on that reason, for they are lively (or energetic), with the result that before the midwife comes to them, they have given birth.

Here, midwives said means that a midwife spoke representing the thoughts of the group. It may not make sense in your language to say that multiple people said something, so you may need to translate it in the singular (See: UST).

These were women who helped a woman give birth to a baby. See how you translated this in Exodus 1:15.

OET (OET-RV) “Because the Ivri women aren’t like Mitsri women,” the midwives answered. “They’re more active and give birth before the midwife even gets to them.”
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.
