אַל־יַחֲשָׁב־לִ֣י אֲדֹנִי֮ עָוֺן֒
not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/towards the=king not hold to=me my=master guilty and,do_not remember DOM which/who did_wrong servant_of,your in_the=day which/who left my=master the=king from,Jerusalem to,set_[it] the=king to/towards his/its=heart )
This is a double negative, consisting of the negative particle not and the verb reckon, which in this context would be negative. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this. Alternate translation: [May my lord please forgive my iniquity]

אֲדֹנִי֮ & אֲדֹנִֽי־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ & הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ
my=master & my=master (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/towards the=king not hold to=me my=master guilty and,do_not remember DOM which/who did_wrong servant_of,your in_the=day which/who left my=master the=king from,Jerusalem to,set_[it] the=king to/towards his/its=heart )
Even though Shimei is addressing David directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as my lord, my lord the king, and the king to show respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a respectful form in the second person. See the discussion in the Introduction to this chapter of speakers using the third person either for themselves, to show humility (as Shimei does later in this verse), or for people whom they are addressing directly, to show respect. Use the appropriate forms in your language throughout the chapter. Alternate translation: [you, my lord … you, my lord the king … you]

וְאַל־תִּזְכֹּ֗ר אֵ֚ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶעֱוָ֣ה עַבְדְּךָ֔
and,do_not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/towards the=king not hold to=me my=master guilty and,do_not remember DOM which/who did_wrong servant_of,your in_the=day which/who left my=master the=king from,Jerusalem to,set_[it] the=king to/towards his/its=heart )
Shimei is using may you not remember as a common expression of his culture to mean “may you not punish.” 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: [and may you not punish your servant for the iniquity that he committed]

Shimei is speaking of himself in the third person as your servant to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [me, your servant]

See how you translated the similar expression in 13:20. Alternate translation: [Please do not take it to heart] or [Please do not hold it against me]
