nagged for=him/it in/on/at/with,words,her all/each/any/every the=days and,pestered,him

The terms pressed and urged mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [she pressed him continually with her words all of the days]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִ⁠דְבָרֶ֛י⁠הָ

in/on/at/with,words,her

The author is using the term words by association to mean what Delilah said by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [by what she said]
