(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was just,as_lies_down my=master the=king with ancestors_of,his and=I_will_be I and,son_of,my Shəlomoh/(Solomon) criminals )
Bathsheba is referring to death in a polite way by using the phrase lies down with his fathers. Depending on what is helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [when you, my lord the king, have passed away]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲבֹתָ֑יו
ancestors_of,his
Bathsheba is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See the discussion of this image in the introduction to 1 Kings. Alternate translation: [his ancestors]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
וְהָיִ֗יתִי אֲנִ֛י וּבְנִ֥י שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה חַטָּאִֽים
and=I_will_be I and,son_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was just,as_lies_down my=master the=king with ancestors_of,his and=I_will_be I and,son_of,my Shəlomoh/(Solomon) criminals )
To make her appeal to David more effective, Bathsheba is first naming herself and then naming herself along with another person who is important to David, to show that the consequence she is describing would affect him as well. It might seem that her expression contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [that I and my son Solomon will be offenders]
OET-LV And_it_was just_ my_master the_king _as_lies_down with ancestors_of_his and_I_will_be I and_son_of_my Shəlomoh sinners.
OET (OET-RV) Otherwise, as soon as my master the king passes on to join his ancestors, my son Shelomoh and I will be considered to be ‘in the way’.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
