Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
כִּ֡י
that/for/because/then/when
David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I declare that” or “I swear that”
Note 2 topic: writing-oathformula
נִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי לָ֜ךְ בַּיהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙
swore to/for=you(fs) in/on/at/with,LORD god Yisrael
Here David refers to how he swore an oath by Yahweh the God of Israel that he would make Solomon the next king. Use a natural way in your language to express an oath. Alternate translation: “I have sworn before Yahweh the God of Israel to you” or “I have solemnly promised Yahweh the God of Israel in your presence”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
לֵאמֹ֔ר כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֤ה בְנֵךְ֙ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔י וְה֛וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖י תַּחְתָּ֑י כִּ֛י
to=say that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your be_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my in_~_place,my that/for/because/then/when
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “saying that Solomon your son would surely reign after me and that he would sit on my throne in place, surely”
Note 4 topic: writing-quotations
לֵאמֹ֔ר
to=say
If you preserve the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “which I did when I said”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔י וְה֛וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖י תַּחְתָּ֑י
be_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my in_~_place,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. See how you expressed the similar form in 1:13. Alternate translation: “will reign after me; yes, he will sit on my throne in my place” or “will reign from my throne in my place”
Note 6 topic: translate-symaction
יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖י תַּחְתָּ֑י
sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my in_~_place,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 idea in 1:13. Alternate translation: “will sit on my throne to rule in my place” or “will sit on my throne as king in my place”
1:28-30 David reassured Bathsheba that Solomon would be the next king by repeating his earlier vow in God’s name (see 1:17).
OET (OET-LV) If/because just_as I_swore to/for_you(fs) in/on/at/with_LORD the_god of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_say if/because Shəlomoh son_your he_will_reign after_me and_he he_will_sit on throne_my in_place_my if/because so I_will_do the_day the_this.
OET (OET-RV) I promise you in front of Israel’s God Yahweh that your son Shelomoh will reign after me and will sit on my throne in my place. I’ll put it in action today.”
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.
