uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אִֽישׁ־רָ֣ע וּ⁠בְלִיַּ֗עַל

(a)_man corrupt (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man corrupt and,worthlessness of,the,men which/who gone with Dāvid and=they_said because which/who not go with,me not give to/for=them any,of,the_booty which/who recovered that/for/because/then/when if (a)_man DOM his/its=wife/woman and=DOM children_of,his and,they_will_lead_[them]_away and,they_will_go )

The terms evil and wicked mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the very wicked men]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמְר֗וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man corrupt and,worthlessness of,the,men which/who gone with Dāvid and=they_said because which/who not go with,me not give to/for=them any,of,the_booty which/who recovered that/for/because/then/when if (a)_man DOM his/its=wife/woman and=DOM children_of,his and,they_will_lead_[them]_away and,they_will_go )

The expression and said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this expression explicitly.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

לֹֽא־נִתֵּ֣ן לָ⁠הֶ֔ם מֵ⁠הַ⁠שָּׁלָ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִצַּ֑לְנוּ כִּֽי־אִם־אִ֤ישׁ אֶת־אִשְׁתּ⁠וֹ֙ וְ⁠אֶת־בָּנָ֔י⁠ו

not not (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man corrupt and,worthlessness of,the,men which/who gone with Dāvid and=they_said because which/who not go with,me not give to/for=them any,of,the_booty which/who recovered that/for/because/then/when if (a)_man DOM his/its=wife/woman and=DOM children_of,his and,they_will_lead_[them]_away and,they_will_go )

If it would appear in your language that the men were making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [the only thing we will give to them from the plunder that we have rescued is a man, his wife and his sons]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אִ֤ישׁ אֶת־אִשְׁתּ⁠וֹ֙ וְ⁠אֶת־בָּנָ֔י⁠ו

(a)_man DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man corrupt and,worthlessness of,the,men which/who gone with Dāvid and=they_said because which/who not go with,me not give to/for=them any,of,the_booty which/who recovered that/for/because/then/when if (a)_man DOM his/its=wife/woman and=DOM children_of,his and,they_will_lead_[them]_away and,they_will_go )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [that a man may take his wife and his sons]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וְ⁠אֶת־בָּנָ֔י⁠ו

and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man corrupt and,worthlessness of,the,men which/who gone with Dāvid and=they_said because which/who not go with,me not give to/for=them any,of,the_booty which/who recovered that/for/because/then/when if (a)_man DOM his/its=wife/woman and=DOM children_of,his and,they_will_lead_[them]_away and,they_will_go )

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that includes both sons and daughters. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both male and female children. Alternate translation: [and his children]

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠יִנְהֲג֖וּ

and,they_will_lead_[them]_away

Since this refers back to a man, it may be more natural in your language to use a singular pronoun here. Alternate translation: [that he may lead away]
