כִּ֤י אָמַ֨רְתִּי֙ יֶשׁ־לִ֣י תִקְוָ֔ה גַּ֣ם הָיִ֤יתִי הַלַּ֨יְלָה֙ לְאִ֔ישׁ וְגַ֖ם יָלַ֥דְתִּי בָנִֽים
that/for/because/then/when thought there_was to=me hope also/yet have the=night to,husband and=also bear children
This rhetorical question begins here and continues into the next verse. Naomi uses this question to emphasize that she cannot provide other sons for them to marry. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation.

יָלַ֥דְתִּי בָנִֽים
bear children
Alternate translation: “I were to bear sons” or “I were to deliver baby boys”
