לָכֵ֞ן
for=so/thus/hence
God is now telling Moses to deliver a message to the Israelites of what God is going to do because of everything that he said in verses 2–5. The reason-result relationship is strongly marked here, so translations should make sure to use a connector that marks verse 6–8 as a result of verses 2–5. Alternate translation: “Because of this”
לָכֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֥ר לִבְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל
for=so/thus/hence say to,sons Yisrael
This is a command from Yahweh to Moses. Alternate translation: “So Yahweh told Moses to say to the Israelites”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
אֶתְכֶ֗ם & אֶתְכֶ֖ם & אֶתְכֶם֙
DOM,you_all & DOM,you_all & DOM,you_all
Here every occurrence of you refers to the Israelites. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a plural form here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
מִתַּ֨חַת֙ סִבְלֹ֣ת מִצְרַ֔יִם
from=under burdens from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s
This refers to all the hard work the Egyptians made the Israelites do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בִּזְר֣וֹעַ נְטוּיָ֔ה
in/on/at/with,arm outstretched
Here, arm is a figurative way of referring to Yahweh’s power, influence, and capacity for action. Outstretched means that he is using that power. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by my great strength”
וּבִשְׁפָטִ֖ים
and,in/on/at/with,acts_of_judgment
Here, the term judgments refers to the plagues that God is about to send to harm Egypt and the Egyptians. Each plague is a response to Pharaoh’s stubbornness. Alternate translation: “and by [greatly] harming the Egyptians”
6:1-13 God renewed his promises. The offer of rescue brought the true question to the fore, the question articulated by Pharaoh: Who is the Lord (5:2)? As much as the Israelites needed rescue from bondage, their greater need was to know the Lord. The climax of God’s renewed promises was “you will know that I am the Lord your God” (6:7).

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.
