אִ֨ישׁ בְּשֹׂרָ֤ה
(a)_man (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) not (a)_man news you(ms) the=day the=this and,you_will_bear_news in/on=day next/another and,the,day the=this not carry_~_news that/for/because/then/when for son_of the=king dead )
Joab is saying man of here in the same way that biblical authors and characters often use the similar expression “son of” to indicate that a person has the characteristic of something. See how you translated the similar expression in [16:7](../16/07.md). Alternate translation: [a man who brings news] or [the one to bring the news]

and,the,day (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) not (a)_man news you(ms) the=day the=this and,you_will_bear_news in/on=day next/another and,the,day the=this not carry_~_news that/for/because/then/when for son_of the=king dead )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [But since the son of the king is dead, this day you will not bring news]

OET (OET-RV) “No, not today,” Yoav replied. “Some other time I’ll allow you to take some news, but not today because the king’s son is dead.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
