OET (OET-RV) So Leah got pregnant and gave birth to a son, and she named him ‘Reuben’ (which means ‘Look, a son’) because she said, “Because Yahweh has looked on my misery, surely my husband will love me now.”

Alternate translation: “and had a son”

You could include the meaning of Reuben’s name in your translation (or in a footnote), so that people understand why Leah gave him that name. If you do that, make sure the meaning of Reuben’s name matches the way you translate “looked/seen” later in this verse.
כִּ֣י אָֽמְרָ֗ה
that/for/because/then/when said
Alternate translation: “because when he was born she had said”

that/for/because/then/when seen YHWH in/on/at/with,affliction,my that/for/because/then/when now love,me husband,my
Consider what is the best way to order these clauses in your language. Also see how you translated misery in Gen 16:11. Alternate translation: “Now that Yahweh has seen that I am suffering and has helped me, surely my husband will love me!” or “Surely my husband will love me now, since Yahweh has seen that I am suffering and has helped me.”
29:32 Reuben (Hebrew re’uben) sounds like the Hebrew for “He has seen my misery” (ra‘ah be‘onyi). His birth gave Leah consolation from God and hope for Jacob’s love. Jacob seems not to have seen her misery, but God did (cp. 16:14; 24:62; 25:11). The name was a reminder of God’s intervention.

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.
