וַתִּמְשֹׁ֤ךְ עֲלֵיהֶם֙ שָׁנִ֣ים רַבּ֔וֹת
and,patient with,them years many
Alternate translation: “you put up with them for a long time”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שָׁנִ֣ים רַבּ֔וֹת
years many
This is a figurative expression for “a long time.” The Levites are describing time by referring to something associated with it, the years in which time is measured. Alternate translation: “for a long time”
וַתָּ֨עַד בָּ֧ם בְּרוּחֲךָ֛ בְּיַד־נְבִיאֶ֖יךָ
and,warned in/on/at/with,them in/on/at/with,Spirit,your in/on/at/with,hand prophets,your
As in 9:20, spirit here seems to be a reference to God in person. If your language uses capitalization or some other convention to indicate that a word is referring to God, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “you spoke through the prophets by your Spirit to warn the Israelites about all the wrong things they were doing”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּיַד־נְבִיאֶ֖יךָ
in/on/at/with,hand prophets,your
This is a figurative way of saying that God had the prophets deliver his message to the Israelites the way a servant would carry a message in his hand. Alternate translation: “through the prophets”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְלֹ֣א הֶאֱזִ֑ינוּ
and=not listen
The Levites are describing the act of listening here by reference to something associated with it, the ear that hears. Alternate translation: “but they refused to listen”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְלֹ֣א הֶאֱזִ֑ינוּ
and=not listen
Listening in this context means not just to hear but to obey. Alternate translation: “but they refused to obey”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַֽתִּתְּנֵ֔ם בְּיַ֖ד עַמֵּ֥י הָאֲרָצֹֽת
and,gave,them in/on/at/with,hand peoples the,lands
Here, hand represents power and control. See how you translated this expression in verse 27, where it occurs twice. Alternate translation: “you allowed the neighboring peoples to defeat them”
Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַֽתִּתְּנֵ֔ם
and,gave,them
This word indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “As a result, you gave them”
9:5-37 This long prayer confesses the nation’s sins and praises God for his compassion throughout history (cp. Pss 105–106; 135–136). It prompted listeners to confess their own unfaithfulness and to call on God to be compassionate and forgive their sins.

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.
