Solomon is using Abiathar’s fields to represent all of the property on which Abiathar lives, including his home. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [to your home]

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an assertion. Alternate translation: [Truly]

(a)_man die (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,Abiathar the=priest/officer he/it_had_said the=king ˊAnātōt go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in fields_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man die you(ms) and,on,day the=this not I,will_put_you_to_death that/for/because/then/when carried DOM ark_of my=master GOD to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Dāvid father_of,my and=because/when shared in,all that endured father_of,my )

Solomon is using the phrase a man of death as a common expression of his culture to mean “someone who deserves to die.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you deserve to die]

וּ⁠בַ⁠יּ֨וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֜ה לֹ֣א אֲמִיתֶ֗⁠ךָ כִּֽי־נָשָׂ֜אתָ אֶת־אֲר֨וֹן אֲדֹנָ֤⁠י יְהֹוִה֙ לִ⁠פְנֵי֙ דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֔⁠י וְ⁠כִ֣י הִתְעַנִּ֔יתָ בְּ⁠כֹ֥ל אֲשֶֽׁר־הִתְעַנָּ֖ה אָבִֽ⁠י

and,on,day (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,Abiathar the=priest/officer he/it_had_said the=king ˊAnātōt go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in fields_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man die you(ms) and,on,day the=this not I,will_put_you_to_death that/for/because/then/when carried DOM ark_of my=master GOD to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Dāvid father_of,my and=because/when shared in,all that endured father_of,my )

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 you carried the Box of my Lord Yahweh to the face of David my father and because you were afflicted with everything with which my father was afflicted, I will not kill you on this day]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לֹ֣א אֲמִיתֶ֗⁠ךָ

not I,will_put_you_to_death

See the discussion in the introduction to 1 Kings of how the author and characters often use the name of one person who is involved in something, often the person who is responsible for it or who is directing it, to represent everyone who is involved. In this case, Solomon does not mean that he personally will not kill Abiathar, but that he will not direct someone to kill him. Alternate translation: [I will not have one of my soldiers kill you]

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,Abiathar the=priest/officer he/it_had_said the=king ˊAnātōt go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in fields_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man die you(ms) and,on,day the=this not I,will_put_you_to_death that/for/because/then/when carried DOM ark_of my=master GOD to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Dāvid father_of,my and=because/when shared in,all that endured father_of,my )

Here, the face of David represents David’s presence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. (Solomon is describing what Abiathar did in [2 Samuel 15:24–29](../2sa/15/24.md).) Alternate translation: [into the presence of David]

הִתְעַנִּ֔יתָ בְּ⁠כֹ֥ל אֲשֶֽׁר־הִתְעַנָּ֖ה אָבִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,to,Abiathar the=priest/officer he/it_had_said the=king ˊAnātōt go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in fields_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man die you(ms) and,on,day the=this not I,will_put_you_to_death that/for/because/then/when carried DOM ark_of my=master GOD to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Dāvid father_of,my and=because/when shared in,all that endured father_of,my )

The expression you were afflicted is 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: [everything that afflicted my father also afflicted you] or [you shared in all of my father’s afflictions]
