uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-background

וַ⁠אֲבִימֶ֕לֶךְ

and,Abimelech

Consider what is the best way in your language to introduce this background information. Alternate translation: [Now King Abimelech]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

לֹ֥א קָרַ֖ב אֵלֶ֑י⁠הָ

not approached to=her/it

Translate this clause in a way that will not be offensive or embarrassing in your language when it is read aloud in public. See how you translated a different phrase in Genesis [19:31](../19/31.md) come to us that has the same meaning. Alternate translation: [had not yet slept with her] or [had not had marital relations with Sarah]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֕ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Abimelech not approached to=her/it and,he_said my=master a,nation? also/yet law-abiding/just destroy )

The way you translate this quote margin will depend on how you translate the rhetorical question that follows it.

Note 4 topic: writing-politeness

אֲדֹנָ֕⁠י

my=master

See how you translated this title of respect for God in Genesis [18:27](../18/27.md), [30–32](../18/30.md). Alternate translation: [My Master] or [Master]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠ג֥וֹי גַּם־צַדִּ֖יק תַּהֲרֹֽג

a,nation? (Some words not found in UHB: and,Abimelech not approached to=her/it and,he_said my=master a,nation? also/yet law-abiding/just destroy )

King Abimelech uses a rhetorical question here to express his desperate concern. Abimelech is saying in a dramatic way that if God kills him, he will destroy the innocent nation that Abimelech leads as their king. Make sure in your translation that he sounds humble and not angry or rude. Alternate translation: [please do not kill me and the people I rule, since we are righteous.]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

צַדִּ֖יק

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Abimelech not approached to=her/it and,he_said my=master a,nation? also/yet law-abiding/just destroy )

Consider again how you translated the word righteous in the book of Genesis. See [6:9](../06/09.md), [7:1](../07/01.md), [18:23–26](../18/23.md), [28](../18/28.md); [20:4](../20/04.md). It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: [we are actually righteous]
