Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תִּזְנֶ֤ה עָלָי⁠ו֙

and,unfaithful on/upon/above=him/it

The expression that the ULT translates as whored against him could also mean that the man’s concubine became angry with him because of something that he did. Many versions translate it that way. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT. Alternate translation: [became angry with him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יָמִ֖ים

days

The author is using the term days by association to mean a period of time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [for some time]
