OET interlinear 1 KI 18:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מֶ֣ה חָטָ֑אתִי כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה נֹתֵ֧ן אֶֽת־עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֛ בְּ⁠יַד־אַחְאָ֖ב לַ⁠הֲמִיתֵֽ⁠נִי

what? sinned (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said what? sinned that/for/because/then/when you(ms) giving DOM servant_of,your in,the_hand_of ʼAḩʼāⱱ to,put,me_to_death )

Obadiah is using the question form for emphasis. 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. Alternate translation: [I have not sinned, that you should put your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה נֹתֵ֧ן אֶֽת־עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֛ בְּ⁠יַד־אַחְאָ֖ב לַ⁠הֲמִיתֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said what? sinned that/for/because/then/when you(ms) giving DOM servant_of,your in,the_hand_of ʼAḩʼāⱱ to,put,me_to_death )

Here, hand represents the power or control of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that you are giving Ahab the occasion to use his power to kill me, your servant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אֶֽת־עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֛

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said what? sinned that/for/because/then/when you(ms) giving DOM servant_of,your in,the_hand_of ʼAḩʼāⱱ to,put,me_to_death )

Obadiah is speaking of himself in the third person as your servant to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [me, your servant,]
