Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְהַ֨בּוֹנִ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ חַרְבּ֛וֹ אֲסוּרִ֥ים עַל־מָתְנָ֖יו וּבוֹנִ֑ים
(vəhabōnim ʼiysh ḩarbō ʼₐşūrim ˊal-mātənāyv ūⱱōnim)
In this context, a man means “each person.” Alternate translation: “each builder worked with his sword strapped to his side”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְהַתּוֹקֵ֥עַ בַּשּׁוֹפָ֖ר אֶצְלִֽי
(vəhattōqēˊa bashshōfār ʼeʦliy)
The implication is that Nehemiah stationed this person next to him so that he could sound a signal if needed. (This becomes clear in 4:20.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly here. Alternate translation: “And I stationed someone next to me who would blow a ram’s horn if we needed a signal”
4:18-19 Through the trumpeter, Nehemiah could sound the alarm to direct workers to any portion of the wall that might be attacked.
