OET interlinear JDG 18:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠אֵ֨ין מַצִּ֜יל כִּ֧י רְֽחוֹקָה־הִ֣יא מִ⁠צִּיד֗וֹן וְ⁠דָבָ֤ר אֵין־לָ⁠הֶם֙ עִם־אָדָ֔ם

and,there_[was]_not (Some words not found in UHB: and,there_[was]_not deliverer that/for/because/then/when far she/it from,Sidon and,anything not to/for=them with humankind and=she [was]_in,valley which/who [belongs]_to,Beth- -rehob and,they_rebuilt DOM the=city and=they_lived in,it )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since the city was far from Sidon and it had no alliances with nearby cities or people groups, there was no one to rescue them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠דָבָ֤ר אֵין־לָ⁠הֶם֙ עִם־אָדָ֔ם

and,anything not to/for=them with humankind

See how you translated the same expression in [18:7](../18/07.md).
