OET (OET-RV) The builders had their swords strapped to their sides as they worked, and the man who would sound the trumpet stayed with me.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְהַ֨בּוֹנִ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ חַרְבּ֛וֹ אֲסוּרִ֥ים עַל־מָתְנָ֖יו וּבוֹנִ֑ים
and,the,builders (a)_man sword_of,his strapped on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hips_of,his and,[they_were]_building
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
and,the_[one,who]_gave_a_blast (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,builders (a)_man sword_of,his strapped on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hips_of,his and,[they_were]_building and,the_[one,who]_gave_a_blast on,horn [was]_beside,me )
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](../04/20.md).) 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]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
