Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
עַד־כַּמֶּ֥ה פְעָמִ֖ים אֲנִ֣י מַשְׁבִּעֶ֑ךָ אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹֽא־תְדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלַ֛י רַק־אֱמֶ֖ת בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה
until (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king until how,many? times I make_of,you_swear which/who not tell to=me only truth in/on=name_of YHWH )
King Ahab is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I have made you swear many times before that you would not speak about me except truth in the name of Yahweh!]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
לֹֽא־תְדַבֵּ֥ר אֵלַ֛י רַק־אֱמֶ֖ת
not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king until how,many? times I make_of,you_swear which/who not tell to=me only truth in/on=name_of YHWH )
If it would appear in your language that the king was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [you would only speak truth about me]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֱמֶ֖ת
truth
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [things that are true]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king until how,many? times I make_of,you_swear which/who not tell to=me only truth in/on=name_of YHWH )
Here, the name of Yahweh represents the authority of Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when speaking with Yahweh’s authority] or [when speaking on behalf of Yahweh]
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_him/it the_king until how_many times will_I make_of_you_swear (cmp) not you_will_speak to_me only truth in/on_name_of YHWH.
OET (OET-RV) But looking at him, the king said to him, “How many times do I have to make you promise that you’ll only tell the truth about me when you pass on Yahweh’s messages?
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.
