uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יִּלְחָצ֥וּ⁠ם אוֹיְבֵי⁠הֶ֑ם וַ֝⁠יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,oppressed_them enemies_of,their and,they_were_humbled below/instead_of hand_of,their )

These two phrases And their enemies oppressed them and and they were humbled under their hand mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [And their enemies oppressed them; yes, they were humbled under their hand]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ֝⁠יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,oppressed_them enemies_of,their and,they_were_humbled below/instead_of hand_of,their )

The expression they were humbled is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and the hand of their enemies humbled them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ֝⁠יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they,oppressed_them enemies_of,their and,they_were_humbled below/instead_of hand_of,their )

Here, hand represents the power and control of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they were humbled under their control]
