uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּגֶּד־ל֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Gād to/towards Dāvid and,he_told to=him/it and=he/it_said to=him/it will,it_come? to/for=yourself(m) seven years famine in,land_of,your if three months fleeing,your to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before foes_of,your and=he [will_of,be]_pursuing_you and=if to_be three_of days pestilence in,land_of,your now consider and,see what return the_[one_of,who]_sent_me answer )

The implication is that Gad declared to David the three choices that Yahweh had given him, as stated in the previous verse. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and he declared to him what Yahweh had said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵֽי־צָרֶ֜י⁠ךָ וְ⁠ה֣וּא רֹדְפֶ֗⁠ךָ

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before foes_of,your and=he [will_of,be]_pursuing_you

Here, to the face of represents David being in front of his enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [n front of your enemies and he is pursuing you]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

לִ⁠פְנֵֽי־צָרֶ֜י⁠ךָ וְ⁠ה֣וּא רֹדְפֶ֗⁠ךָ

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before foes_of,your and=he [will_of,be]_pursuing_you

Since the word enemies is plural, it may be more natural in your language to refer back to it with a plural pronoun. Alternate translation: [in front of your enemies while they pursue you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

דַּ֣ע וּ⁠רְאֵ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Gād to/towards Dāvid and,he_told to=him/it and=he/it_said to=him/it will,it_come? to/for=yourself(m) seven years famine in,land_of,your if three months fleeing,your to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before foes_of,your and=he [will_of,be]_pursuing_you and=if to_be three_of days pestilence in,land_of,your now consider and,see what return the_[one_of,who]_sent_me answer )

Gad is using know and see as a common expression of his culture to mean “consider thoughtfully.” 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: [consider thoughtfully]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מָה־אָשִׁ֥יב & דָּבָֽר

what (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Gād to/towards Dāvid and,he_told to=him/it and=he/it_said to=him/it will,it_come? to/for=yourself(m) seven years famine in,land_of,your if three months fleeing,your to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before foes_of,your and=he [will_of,be]_pursuing_you and=if to_be three_of days pestilence in,land_of,your now consider and,see what return the_[one_of,who]_sent_me answer )

Gad is speaking of a message or reply as if it were a word that was an object he could carry back to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what answer I shall give]
