(Some words not found in UHB: and,they brought (a)_man his/its=donation/offering vessels_of silver and,articles_of gold and,garments and,weaponry and,spices horses and,mules message/matter_of year in,a_year )

The author is using a man his gift as a common expression of the culture to mean “each man brought his own gift” or “every person brought a gift.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And each man brought Solomon a gift]

וְ⁠הֵ֣מָּה מְבִאִ֣ים אִ֣ישׁ מִנְחָת֡⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they brought (a)_man his/its=donation/offering vessels_of silver and,articles_of gold and,garments and,weaponry and,spices horses and,mules message/matter_of year in,a_year )

Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [And each person brought Solomon a gift]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they brought (a)_man his/its=donation/offering vessels_of silver and,articles_of gold and,garments and,weaponry and,spices horses and,mules message/matter_of year in,a_year )

The author is using year by year as a common expression of his culture to mean “continually” or “every year without exception.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and this happened year after year] or [and people did this continually]
