and,what? sound/voice (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) and,what? sound/voice of,the_sheep the=this in,ears_of,my and,the_sound_of of,the_cattle which/who I hear )
Samuel is using the question form for emphasis, in order to challenge what Saul has just said. If speakers of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: [That cannot be true, because I hear the sound of a flock and the sound of cattle]

Samuel is using the term ears to represent hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [that I am hearing]
