Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יֹּ֨סֶף ע֜וֹד אֲחִימַ֤עַץ בֶּן־צָדוֹק֙ וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ son_of Tsādōq/(Zadok) and=he/it_said to/towards Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=let_it_be what run please also/even me after the,Cushite and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/for=what this you(ms) run my_son_of,my and,for,you not reward get )

It might seem that saying both again and resumed would be extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten this. Alternate translation: [And Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, resumed and said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יֹּ֨סֶף ע֜וֹד אֲחִימַ֤עַץ בֶּן־צָדוֹק֙ וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ son_of Tsādōq/(Zadok) and=he/it_said to/towards Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=let_it_be what run please also/even me after the,Cushite and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/for=what this you(ms) run my_son_of,my and,for,you not reward get )

It might seem that saying both again and resumed would be to present extra information that would not be natural in your language. If so, you can just use one of these terms. Alternate translation: [And Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said again]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

אָרֻֽצָה־נָּ֥א גַם־אָ֖נִי

run (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ son_of Tsādōq/(Zadok) and=he/it_said to/towards Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=let_it_be what run please also/even me after the,Cushite and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/for=what this you(ms) run my_son_of,my and,for,you not reward get )

Ahimaaz is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as let me run already includes this meaning. He is doing that to indicate that his action would be comparable to that of the Cushite. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing that Ahimaaz is indicating that his action would be comparable. It may not be necessary to represent the separately stated pronoun explicitly. Alternate translation: [please let me run, for my own part]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָֽ⁠מָּה־זֶּ֞ה אַתָּ֥ה רָץ֙ בְּנִ֔⁠י וּ⁠לְ⁠כָ֖ה אֵין־בְּשׂוֹרָ֥ה מֹצֵֽאת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ son_of Tsādōq/(Zadok) and=he/it_said to/towards Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=let_it_be what run please also/even me after the,Cushite and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/for=what this you(ms) run my_son_of,my and,for,you not reward get )

Joab is using the question form to rebuke Ahimaaz for wanting to run. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not be running, my son, when for you there is no news finding!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לָֽ⁠מָּה־זֶּ֞ה אַתָּ֥ה רָץ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ son_of Tsādōq/(Zadok) and=he/it_said to/towards Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=let_it_be what run please also/even me after the,Cushite and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/for=what this you(ms) run my_son_of,my and,for,you not reward get )

Joab is using Why is this, you running as a common expression of his culture to mean “Why would you run?” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [For what reason would you run]

Note 6 topic: writing-politeness

בְּנִ֔⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ son_of Tsādōq/(Zadok) and=he/it_said to/towards Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=let_it_be what run please also/even me after the,Cushite and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/for=what this you(ms) run my_son_of,my and,for,you not reward get )

Joab is referring to Ahimaaz with an affectionate expression. Use a comparable title or expression from your language and culture for addressing someone affectionately. Alternate translation: [young man]

Joab 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: [there is no news finding a reward]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אֵין־בְּשׂוֹרָ֥ה מֹצֵֽאת
