If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word action, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “has done to Nabal what Nabal planned to do to me”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
(Occurrence 0) on his own head
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_listened Dāvid that/for/because/then/when dead Nāⱱāl and=he/it_said blessed YHWH which/who judged DOM cause_of reproach_of,my from,hand_of Nāⱱāl and=DOM servant_of,his kept_back from,evil and=DOM evil Nāⱱāl returned YHWH in/on/at/with,head_of,his_own and,sent Dāvid and=he/it_spoke in/on/at/with,Abigail to,take,her to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman )
