uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וְ⁠הָֽ⁠אֲנָשִׁים֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,men which/who not die afflicted in/on/at/with, and,it_went_up cry_of the=city the=heavens )

Here the masculine term term has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [And the people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ב⁠עפלים

in/on/at/with,

See how you translated the term tumors in 5:6.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הָ⁠עִ֖יר

the=city

The author is using the term city to represent the people who lived in the city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וַ⁠תַּ֛עַל שַֽׁוְעַ֥ת הָ⁠עִ֖יר הַ⁠שָּׁמָֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,men which/who not die afflicted in/on/at/with, and,it_went_up cry_of the=city the=heavens )

The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. He is suggesting that this cry was so loud that it could be heard all the way up in the sky. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [And the cry of the city was so loud that it could be heard at a great distance]
