OET interlinear 1KI 1:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

לְכִ֞י וּ⁠בֹ֣אִי

go and,go_in

In a context such as this, your language might say only Go or come instead of both Go and come. Alternate translation: “Go” or “Come”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וְ⁠אָמַ֤רְתְּ אֵלָי⁠ו֙ הֲ⁠לֹֽא־אַתָּ֞ה אֲדֹנִ֣⁠י הַ⁠מֶּ֗לֶךְ נִשְׁבַּ֤עְתָּ לַ⁠אֲמָֽתְ⁠ךָ֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֤ה בְנֵ⁠ךְ֙ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔⁠י וְ⁠ה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֑⁠י וּ⁠מַדּ֖וּעַ מָלַ֥ךְ אֲדֹנִיָֽהוּ

and,say to=him/it ?,not you(ms) my=master the=king swear to/for=your(ms)=female_slave to=say that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your become_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my and,why become_king ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh

It may be more natural in your language to have indirect quotations here. Alternate translation: “and you shall ask him whether he, your master the king, has not sworn to you, his female servant, saying that surely Solomon your son would reign after him, and he would sit on his throne. And you will ask him Adonijah reigns.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹֽא־אַתָּ֞ה אֲדֹנִ֣⁠י הַ⁠מֶּ֗לֶךְ נִשְׁבַּ֤עְתָּ לַ⁠אֲמָֽתְ⁠ךָ֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֤ה בְנֵ⁠ךְ֙ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔⁠י וְ⁠ה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֑⁠י

?,not you(ms) my=master the=king swear to/for=your(ms)=female_slave to=say that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your become_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my

Nathan suggests that Bathsheba should use the question form to remind David of what he had previously promised. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Remember that you, my master the king, have sworn to your female servant, saying, ‘Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’” or “Do not forget, my master the king, that you have sworn to your female servant, saying, ‘Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לַ⁠אֲמָֽתְ⁠ךָ֙

to/for=your(ms)=female_slave

Here Nathan suggests that Bathsheba speak about herself in the third person. This was one way to address someone in a respectful way. If this would not be natural in your language, you could use the first person form. Alternate translation: “to me, your female servant”

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר

to=say

If you keep the direct quotation here, consider natural ways of introducing it. Alternate translation: “when you said”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֤ה בְנֵ⁠ךְ֙ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔⁠י וְ⁠ה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֑⁠י

that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your become_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word other than and in order to show that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two clauses. Alternate translation: “Surely Solomon your son will reign after me; yes, he will sit on my throne” or “Surely Solomon your son will reign from my throne”

Note 7 topic: translate-symaction

יֵשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֑⁠י

sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my

When a person sits on a throne, it indicates that the person has power and rules as king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: “will sit on my throne to rule” or “will sit on my throne as king”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וּ⁠מַדּ֖וּעַ מָלַ֥ךְ אֲדֹנִיָֽהוּ

and,why become_king ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh

Nathan suggests that Bathsheba should use the question form to inform David of something that is contrary to what he already promised. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “However, I tell you that Adonijah reigns.” or “So, Adonijah the son of Haggith should not reign!”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מָלַ֥ךְ אֲדֹנִיָֽהוּ

become_king ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh

Here Nathan suggests that Bathsheba should imply that Adonijah is trying to reign. Nathan and Bathsheba believe that David is still the real king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “does Adonijah attempt to reign” or “does Adonijah want to make himself king”
