uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י כָל־עֲבָדֶ֗י⁠ךָ

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,king covered DOM his/its=faces/face and,he_cried_out the=king sound/voice big/great my_son_of,my ʼAⱱīshālōm ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,my son_of,my )

The author is using the faces to represent the people themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all of your servants]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠אֵ֨ת נֶ֤פֶשׁ בָּנֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙ וּ⁠בְנֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠נֶ֣פֶשׁ נָשֶׁ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠נֶ֖פֶשׁ פִּלַגְשֶֽׁי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,king covered DOM his/its=faces/face and,he_cried_out the=king sound/voice big/great my_son_of,my ʼAⱱīshālōm ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,my son_of,my )

In this verse, the word life is singular in form, but it refers to all the sons, daughters, wives, and concubines as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “life.” Alternate translation: [and the lives of your sons and your daughters and the lives of your wives and the lives of your concubines]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וְ⁠אֵ֨ת נֶ֤פֶשׁ בָּנֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙ וּ⁠בְנֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠נֶ֣פֶשׁ נָשֶׁ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠נֶ֖פֶשׁ פִּלַגְשֶֽׁי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,king covered DOM his/its=faces/face and,he_cried_out the=king sound/voice big/great my_son_of,my ʼAⱱīshālōm ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,my son_of,my )

It might seem that repeating the term life three times would be extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could represent the term only once. Alternate translation: [and the lives of your sons and your daughters and your wives and your concubines]
