וַתִּקְרֶאנָה֩ ל֨וֹ הַשְּׁכֵנ֥וֹת שֵׁם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר & וַתִּקְרֶ֤אנָֽה שְׁמוֹ֙ עוֹבֵ֔ד
and,gave to=him/it the,neighborhood name_of to=say & and,called his/its=name ˊŌⱱēd
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The first phrase introduces the naming event, and the second repeats it in order to report the event. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the clauses that both refer to calling out a name. Alternate translation: "Then the women of the neighborhood said … And they called him Obed"

יֻלַּד־בֵּ֖ן לְנָעֳמִ֑י
he/it_was_born son to,Naomi
A son has been born to Naomi is an idiom that means “Naomi now has a grandson, a male in her family line.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: "Naomi now has a male heir again"
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַתִּקְרֶ֤אנָֽה שְׁמוֹ֙ עוֹבֵ֔ד
and,called his/its=name ˊŌⱱēd
Here, called his name is an idiom that means “named.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And they called him Obed” or “And they gave him the name Obed”
Note 4 topic: translate-kinship
ה֥וּא אֲבִי־יִשַׁ֖י

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲבִ֥י דָוִֽד
father_of Dāvid
