OET interlinear 1 KI 1:48

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כָּ֖כָה אָמַ֣ר הַ⁠מֶּ֑לֶךְ בָּר֨וּךְ יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֥ן הַ⁠יּ֛וֹם יֹשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖⁠י וְ⁠עֵינַ֥⁠י רֹאֽוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also thus he/it_had_said the=king blessed YHWH god_of Yisrael which/who he/it_gave the=day was_sitting on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,my and,my_own_of,eyes seeing )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [the king said that he blessed Yahweh, the God of Israel, who today had given a sitter on his throne, and his eyes were seeing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בָּר֨וּךְ יְהוָ֜ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also thus he/it_had_said the=king blessed YHWH god_of Yisrael which/who he/it_gave the=day was_sitting on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,my and,my_own_of,eyes seeing )

The expression Blessed be Yahweh uses a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May people bless Yahweh] or [May people praise Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֥ן הַ⁠יּ֛וֹם יֹשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖⁠י וְ⁠עֵינַ֥⁠י רֹאֽוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also thus he/it_had_said the=king blessed YHWH god_of Yisrael which/who he/it_gave the=day was_sitting on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,my and,my_own_of,eyes seeing )

The word that the ULT translates as and indicates that Yahweh has given someone to sit on David’s throne (that is, to be the next king) at the same time when David’s eyes were still seeing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could describe the time relationship more explicitly. Alternate translation: [who today has given a sitter on my throne while I am still alive to see it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יֹשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also thus he/it_had_said the=king blessed YHWH god_of Yisrael which/who he/it_gave the=day was_sitting on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,my and,my_own_of,eyes seeing )

Here, a sitter on my throne represents someone who would rule as king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [someone to succeed me as king] or [a son to continue my dynasty]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠עֵינַ֥⁠י רֹאֽוֹת

and,my_own_of,eyes seeing

King David is using my eyes to mean all of him in the act of seeing Solomon sit on his throne. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I myself am seeing]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠עֵינַ֥⁠י רֹאֽוֹת

and,my_own_of,eyes seeing

David is speaking here as if he were actually seeing Solomon sitting on his throne. He means that this has happened during his own lifetime. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [while I am still alive to experience it]
