OET interlinear 1 KI 21:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

הִנְ⁠נִ֨י

here,I

This is the beginning of a direct quotation from Yahweh. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [Thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הִנְ⁠נִ֨י מֵבִ֤יא אֵלֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙ רָעָ֔ה וּ⁠בִעַרְתִּ֖י אַחֲרֶ֑י⁠ךָ וְ⁠הִכְרַתִּ֤י לְ⁠אַחְאָב֙ מַשְׁתִּ֣ין בְּ⁠קִ֔יר וְ⁠עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָז֖וּב בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

here,I (Some words not found in UHB: here,I bring to,you disaster and,I_will_sweep_away after,you and,I_will_cut_off to,Ahab one_urinating on,a_wall and,shut_up and,freed in,Israel )

See how you translated all of the similar expressions in [14:10](../14/10.md). Alternate translation: [I am about to bring harm on you, and I will destroy you completely, yes, I will cause someone to kill every single one of the men in your family]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

הִנְ⁠נִ֨י מֵבִ֤יא אֵלֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙ רָעָ֔ה וּ⁠בִעַרְתִּ֖י אַחֲרֶ֑י⁠ךָ וְ⁠הִכְרַתִּ֤י לְ⁠אַחְאָב֙ מַשְׁתִּ֣ין בְּ⁠קִ֔יר וְ⁠עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָז֖וּב בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

here,I (Some words not found in UHB: here,I bring to,you disaster and,I_will_sweep_away after,you and,I_will_cut_off to,Ahab one_urinating on,a_wall and,shut_up and,freed in,Israel )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh says that he is about to bring harm on you, and he will destroy you completely, yes, he will cause someone to kill every single one of the men in your family]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לְ⁠אַחְאָב֙

to,Ahab

Yahweh is speaking of Ahab in the third person, even though he is addressing him directly through Elijah. Yahweh is doing that because he is making a solemn declaration. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: [from you]
