OET (OET-LV) And_DOM kings_of_our leaders_of_our priests_of_our and_ancestors_of_our not they_did law_of_your and_not they_paid_attention to commandments_of_your and_to_warnings_of_your which you_admonished in/on/at/with_them.
OET (OET-RV) and our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our ancestors haven’t obeyed your instructions and they haven’t bothered with following your commands or taking notice of your complaints that you made know to them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַאֲבֹתֵ֔ינוּ
and,ancestors_of,our
Fathers here means “ancestors.” Alternate translation: “our ancestors”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
לֹ֥א עָשׂ֖וּ תּוֹרָתֶ֑ךָ וְלֹ֤א הִקְשִׁ֨יבוּ֙ אֶל־מִצְוֺתֶ֔יךָ וּלְעֵ֣דְוֺתֶ֔יךָ
not they_had_acquired law_of,your and=not listen to/towards commandments_of,your and,to,warnings_of,your
These two phrases mean similar things. The Levites use the repetition to confess how completely the people have disobeyed what God told them to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “have completely disobeyed everything you told them to do”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְלֹ֤א הִקְשִׁ֨יבוּ֙ אֶל
and=not listen to/towards
Not paying attention to a command, like not listening to it, is a figurative way of saying not obeying it. Alternate translation: “have disobeyed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
מִצְוֺתֶ֔יךָ וּלְעֵ֣דְוֺתֶ֔יךָ
commandments_of,your and,to,warnings_of,your
These two terms mean similar things. You do not need to repeat both of them in your translation if that would make the meaning less clear for your readers. Alternate translation: “everything you told them to do”
וּלְעֵ֣דְוֺתֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַעִידֹ֖תָ בָּהֶֽם
and,to,warnings_of,your which/who gave in/on/at/with,them
As in 9:26, 9:29, and 9:30, this expression means to warn someone about what they are doing. So here it is referring to “the warnings that you gave them to warn them.” You do not need to repeat the idea of “warn” twice in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “the many warnings 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.

OET (OET-RV) and our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our ancestors haven’t obeyed your instructions and they haven’t bothered with following your commands or taking notice of your complaints that you made know to them.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
