The author is using the phrase a woman to introduce Deborah as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “Now a certain woman named Deborah was judging Israel at that time. She was a prophetess, and her husband was named Lappidoth”

and,Deborah & Lappidōt
The word Deborah is the name of a woman, and the word Lappidoth is the name of a man.
4:4-7 Deborah was a prophet (Hebrew ’ishah nebi’ah, “a woman, a female prophet”) who was judging (shoptah, a feminine verb; see study note on 2:16-19). She is the protagonist of this story, though much of the action surrounds her surrogate, Barak. Unlike most of the characters in the book of Judges, Deborah fulfilled both the judicial and the military functions implied by the label “judge.” As a prophet, she foreshadowed Samuel’s later work (1 Sam 7:15-17). Deborah called for a holy war in which the Lord would fight for his people (Judg 4:6-7; see study notes on Deut 1:30; 2 Chr 20:20-21).

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.
