The different Hebrew and Greek terms that are translated as “(olive) oil” and “(animal) fat” in English are translated in Kwere with only one term: mavuta. (Pioneer Bible Translators, project-specific translation notes in Paratext)
Translation commentary on 1 Samuel 8:13
He will take: see the comments on verse 11.
Perfumers, that is, someone who mixes or blends ointments to be used for anointing or for wearing as perfume. New American Bible renders this term “ointment-makers,” and Fox says “ointment-mixers.” The same term occurs in Neh 3.8 and in Exo 30.25, 34.
In many languages the nouns perfumers and cooks and bakers will be more naturally rendered as verb phrases. So the whole verse may read “he will take your daughters and force them to make perfume and cook food and bake bread.” While it is not specifically stated as it was in the previous verse, the king is again seen to be the one to benefit from this work. Good News Translation makes this implied information explicit by adding “for him” and “his,” so that this verse conforms to the overall pattern of this passage.

formal second person plural pronoun
Like a number of other East Asian languages, Japanese uses a complex system of honorifics, i.e. a system where a number of different levels of politeness are expressed in language via words, word forms or grammatical constructs. These can range from addressing someone or referring to someone with contempt (very informal) to expressing the highest level of reference (as used in addressing or referring to God) or any number of levels in-between.
One way Japanese show different degree of politeness is through the choice of a formal plural suffix to the second person pronoun (“you” and its various forms) as shown here in the widely-used Japanese Shinkaiyaku (新改訳) Bible of 2017.
In these verses, anata-gata (あなたがた) is used, combining the second person pronoun anata and the plural suffix -gata to create a formal plural pronoun (“you” [plural] in English).
