OET interlinear 1KI 1:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וּֽ⁠מְרִיא

and,fattened_cattle

In this verse, the word fatling is singular in form, but it refers to many fatlings as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “and fatlings”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

וּֽ⁠מְרִיא

and,fattened_cattle

Here, the word fatling refers to an animal that has been fed a lot of food so that it becomes fat and is very good to eat. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. See how you translated this word in 1:9. Alternate translation: “and animals that were given plenty of food so that they would be fat” or “and young cows that were specially prepared to be eaten”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָ⁠רֹב֒

to=increase_in_number

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of abundance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “abundantly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

לְ⁠כָל־בְּנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

to/from=all/each/any/every sons_of the=king

As the end of the verse makes clear, Bathsheba says all here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “to almost all of the sons of the king”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ

the=king

Here Bathsheba addresses king David in the third person as a sign of respect. If this would not be natural in your language, you could use the second-person form and indicate the respect in another way. Alternate translation: “of you, the king,”
