OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said Nātān my_master the_king you have_you_said ʼAdoniyyāh he_will_reign after_me and_he he_will_sit on throne_my.
OET (OET-RV) Then he asked, “My master the king, did you announce that Adoniyyah will reign after you and sit on your throne?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אַתָּ֣ה אָמַ֔רְתָּ אֲדֹנִיָּ֖הוּ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרָ֑י וְה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
you(ms) said ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh be_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my
Nathan is using the question form to inform David that Adonijah is acting as if David named him the next king. 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: “Adonijah is acting as if you yourself said, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
אַתָּ֣ה אָמַ֔רְתָּ אֲדֹנִיָּ֖הוּ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרָ֑י וְה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
you(ms) said ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh be_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “have you yourself said that Adonijah will reign after you and sit on your throne”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
אֲדֹנִיָּ֖הוּ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרָ֑י וְה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh be_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. See how you expressed the similar form in 1:13. Alternatively, you could combine the two clauses. Alternate translation: “Adonijah will reign after me; yes, he will sit on my throne” or “Adonijah will reign from my throne”
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
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. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 1:13. Alternate translation: “will sit on my throne to rule” or “will sit on my throne as king”
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said Nātān my_master the_king you have_you_said ʼAdoniyyāh he_will_reign after_me and_he he_will_sit on throne_my.
OET (OET-RV) Then he asked, “My master the king, did you announce that Adoniyyah will reign after you and sit on your throne?
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.
