וְכִֽי־הֵקִ֨ים יְהוָ֥ה ׀ לָהֶם֮ שֹֽׁפְטִים֒ & כִּֽי־יִנָּחֵ֤ם יְהוָה֙ מִנַּֽאֲקָתָ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֥י לֹחֲצֵיהֶ֖ם וְדֹחֲקֵיהֶֽם

If it would be more natural in your language, you could put the second sentence of this verse at the beginning of the verse, since it gives the reason for what the rest of the verse describes. Within that sentence, you could also put the reason before the result. Alternate translation: “For the people of Israel were groaning because of their afflicters and oppressors. Yahweh had compassion on them, so he raised up judges for them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הֵקִ֨ים יְהוָ֥ה ׀ לָהֶם֮ שֹֽׁפְטִים֒
raised_up YHWH to/for=them judges
See how you translated the expression raised up in 2:16. Alternate translation: “Yahweh provided judges for them”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וְהֽוֹשִׁיעָם֙
and,delivered,them
The pronoun them refers to the Israelites. The pronoun he could refer either to Yahweh or to the judge, although there is not a significant difference in meaning. Alternate translation: “and Yahweh saved the Israelites” or “and that enabled the judge to save the Israelites”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִיַּ֣ד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶ֔ם
from,hand enemies,their
See how you translated the word hand in 2:26. Alternate translation: “from the power of their enemies”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֣י הַשּׁוֹפֵ֑ט
all days_of the,judge
See how you translated the word days in 2:7. Alternate translation: “throughout the lifetime of that judge”
2:10-19 Joshua was dead, the new generation had not experienced God’s saving power, and the Canaanites continued to live in the land. What resulted was the cycle of rebellion and partial restoration. This section introduces that cycle, which the body of the book exemplifies.

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.
