OET (OET-LV) And_ the_king_of _he/it_said of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to Yəhōshāfāţ still a_man one to_consult DOM YHWH from_DOM_him and_I I_hate_him if/because not he_prophesies on_me good if/because (if) evil Mīkāyəhū the_son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and_ Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) _he/it_said not let_him_speak the_king thus.
OET (OET-RV) “There’s still one man who speaks for Yahweh,” Ahav replied to Yehoshafat, “Yimla’s son Mikayehu, but I myself hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me—only negative things.”
¶ “The king shouldn’t talk like that,” said Yehoshafat.

and,I (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael to/near Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) again/more (a)_man one(ms) to,consult DOM YHWH from,DOM,him and,I I,hate_him that/for/because/then/when not prophesies on,me good that/for/because/then/when if disaster Mīkāyəhū son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and=he/it_said Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) not say the=king yes/correct/thus/so )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [but because he does not prophesy good about me but rather evil, I, I hate him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
טוֹב֙ & רָ֔ע
good & disaster
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of good and evil, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [good things … bad things]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וַאֲנִ֣י שְׂנֵאתִ֗יו
and,I (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael to/near Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) again/more (a)_man one(ms) to,consult DOM YHWH from,DOM,him and,I I,hate_him that/for/because/then/when not prophesies on,me good that/for/because/then/when if disaster Mīkāyəhū son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and=he/it_said Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) not say the=king yes/correct/thus/so )
See how you translated the similar expression in [1:17](../01/17.md). Alternate translation: [but, personally, I hate him]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
אַל־יֹאמַ֥ר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ כֵּֽן
not say (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael to/near Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) again/more (a)_man one(ms) to,consult DOM YHWH from,DOM,him and,I I,hate_him that/for/because/then/when not prophesies on,me good that/for/because/then/when if disaster Mīkāyəhū son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and=he/it_said Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) not say the=king yes/correct/thus/so )
Even though Jehoshaphat is addressing Ahab directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as the king to show respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a respectful form in the second person. Alternate translation: [May you not say thus, O king]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
כִּ֣י אִם־רָ֔ע
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael to/near Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) again/more (a)_man one(ms) to,consult DOM YHWH from,DOM,him and,I I,hate_him that/for/because/then/when not prophesies on,me good that/for/because/then/when if disaster Mīkāyəhū son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and=he/it_said Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) not say the=king yes/correct/thus/so )
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [but rather he prophesies evil about me]
Note 6 topic: writing-politeness
אַל־יֹאמַ֥ר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ כֵּֽן
not say (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael to/near Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) again/more (a)_man one(ms) to,consult DOM YHWH from,DOM,him and,I I,hate_him that/for/because/then/when not prophesies on,me good that/for/because/then/when if disaster Mīkāyəhū son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and=he/it_said Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) not say the=king yes/correct/thus/so )
Jehoshaphat is politely and tactfully disagreeing with Ahab and suggesting that Micaiah will not necessarily prophesy something evil. In your translation, express this in the way that a speaker of your language would politely disagree with someone. Alternate translation: [I do not think you need to speak that way]
OET (OET-LV) And_ the_king_of _he/it_said of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to Yəhōshāfāţ still a_man one to_consult DOM YHWH from_DOM_him and_I I_hate_him if/because not he_prophesies on_me good if/because (if) evil Mīkāyəhū the_son_of Yimlāʼ/(Imlah) and_ Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) _he/it_said not let_him_speak the_king thus.
OET (OET-RV) “There’s still one man who speaks for Yahweh,” Ahav replied to Yehoshafat, “Yimla’s son Mikayehu, but I myself hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me—only negative things.”
¶ “The king shouldn’t talk like that,” said Yehoshafat.
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.
