uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּשְׂא֣וּ קוֹלָ֔⁠ם

The author is speaking as if a voice were something that could be physically lifted. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [spoke loudly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יִּשְׂא֣וּ קוֹלָ֔⁠ם וַ⁠יִּבְכּ֖וּ

and,lifted_up voices,their and,they_wept

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with “and.” The phrase lifted their voice tells in what way they wept. Alternate translation: [wept loudly]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

וַ⁠יִּבְכּ֖וּ בְּכִ֥י גָדֽוֹל

and,they_wept weeping bitterly

For emphasis, the author is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [wept very greatly]
