uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וּ⁠בֵרַ֨ךְ עֵלִ֜י אֶת־אֶלְקָנָ֣ה וְ⁠אֶת־אִשְׁתּ֗⁠וֹ וְ⁠אָמַר֙

and,he_blessed ˊĒlī DOM ʼElqānāh and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_blessed ˊĒlī DOM ʼElqānāh and=DOM his/its=wife/woman and=saying(ms) give YHWH to/for=yourself(m) seed/offspring from/more_than the=woman (the),this below/instead_of the,petition which/who made to/for=YHWH and,they_went to,place_of,his )

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word say tells what Eli did in order to bless. Alternate translation: [And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife by saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

זֶ֨רַע֙

seed/offspring

Eli is speaking as if children were seed that could be planted and grown. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [children]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַ⁠שְּׁאֵלָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_blessed ˊĒlī DOM ʼElqānāh and=DOM his/its=wife/woman and=saying(ms) give YHWH to/for=yourself(m) seed/offspring from/more_than the=woman (the),this below/instead_of the,petition which/who made to/for=YHWH and,they_went to,place_of,his )

Eli is using the term request to represent Samuel, whom Hannah requested from Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the son]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁאַ֖ל לַֽ⁠יהוָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_blessed ˊĒlī DOM ʼElqānāh and=DOM his/its=wife/woman and=saying(ms) give YHWH to/for=yourself(m) seed/offspring from/more_than the=woman (the),this below/instead_of the,petition which/who made to/for=YHWH and,they_went to,place_of,his )

Here the author is not using the pronoun one to refer to a specific person. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [who was requested of Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

לִ⁠מְקֹמֽ⁠וֹ

to,place_of,his

Since the author is referring to Elkanah and his family, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form. Alternate translation: [to their place]
