Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֔הוּ
and=they_said (a)_man to/towards his/its=neighbour
This is a common expression that means that the people of the city were asking each other the question that follows. No particular relationship is in view between a man and his fellow man. The expression just means that one person asked another. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Each person was asking other people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וַֽיִּדְרְשׁוּ֙ וַיְבַקְשׁ֔וּ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ
and,searched and,inquired and=they_said
The terms searched and sought mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis, probably to mean that it took some time to find out who was responsible. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “They had to search for some time, but finally they discovered”
