OET interlinear 1 KI 11:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

כִּ֠י מָה־אַתָּ֤ה חָסֵר֙ עִמִּ֔⁠י וְ⁠הִנְּ⁠ךָ֥ מְבַקֵּ֖שׁ לָ⁠לֶ֣כֶת אֶל־אַרְצֶ֑⁠ךָ וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ לֹ֔א

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Parˊoh that/for/because/then/when what you(ms) lack with,me and,here,you seeking to=go to/towards land_of,your_own and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when to_let_go you,will_let_me_go )

Pharaoh is using the question form to suggest a reason why Hadad should not leave Egypt. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Since Hadad, as part of a courteous exchange, answers Pharaoh’s question, even though he is not really asking for information, you could translate Hadad’s answer as a statement rather than as a response. Alternate translation: [I do not understand why you are seeking to go to your land, since you lack nothing with me.” And he said, “I do not lack anything here]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠הִנְּ⁠ךָ֥ מְבַקֵּ֖שׁ לָ⁠לֶ֣כֶת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Parˊoh that/for/because/then/when what you(ms) lack with,me and,here,you seeking to=go to/towards land_of,your_own and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when to_let_go you,will_let_me_go )

Pharaoh is using behold you as a common expression of his culture that indicates that someone is about to do something. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression “behold me, saying” in [5:5](../05/05.md). Alternate translation: [that I see that you are about to try to go]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לֹ֔א

not

Hadad is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [I lack nothing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שַׁלֵּ֖חַ תְּשַׁלְּחֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Parˊoh that/for/because/then/when what you(ms) lack with,me and,here,you seeking to=go to/towards land_of,your_own and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when to_let_go you,will_let_me_go )

Hadad is repeating forms of the verb send in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [please do send me away] or [please do allow me to leave]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שַׁלֵּ֖חַ תְּשַׁלְּחֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Parˊoh that/for/because/then/when what you(ms) lack with,me and,here,you seeking to=go to/towards land_of,your_own and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when to_let_go you,will_let_me_go )

The author indicates in [11:25](../11/25.md) that Hadad did “harm” to Solomon, but here he ends his specific account of how Hadad became an “adversary” to Solomon without describing how Hadad returned to Edom and fomented a rebellion. The author assumes that his readers already know how he did that. You could include some indication of this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. The UST models one way to do that.
