OET (OET-RV) So Benayah entered Yahweh’s tent and he told Yoav, “The king said for you to come out.”
¶ “No, I’ll die here,” he replied.
¶ So Benayah went back to the king and reported both sides of the conversation
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
וַיָּבֹ֨א בְנָיָ֜הוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
In a context such as this, your language might say went instead of “came.” Alternate translation: [And Benaiah went]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֜יו
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
The pronoun he refers to Benaiah, while the pronoun him refers to Joab. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and Benaiah said to Joab]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ צֵ֔א
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
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 orders you to come out!]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
כִּ֣י פֹ֣ה אָמ֑וּת
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
In this figure of speech, Joab actually means to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of his words. Rather than truly wanting to die, he is defiantly saying that he will not come out of the tent, believing that he will not die if he remains there. If a speaker of your language would not do that, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [if you are going to kill me, you are going to have to come in and kill me here]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
דָּבָ֣ר
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
Here, word represents the report that Benaiah gave Solomon by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a report]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
לֵאמֹ֔ר כֹּֽה־דִבֶּ֥ר יוֹאָ֖ב וְכֹ֥ה עָנָֽנִי
to=say (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
The author is using these phrases to indicate that Benaiah reported to Solomon what Joab had said to him. These are not the actual words that Benaiah spoke. So it may be more natural in your language to express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [telling him what Joab had said in response to him]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כֹּֽה־דִבֶּ֥ר יוֹאָ֖ב וְכֹ֥ה עָנָֽנִי
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went Bənāyāh to/towards tent/house YHWH and=he/it_said to=him/it thus he/it_had_said the=king come_out and=he/it_said not that/for/because/then/when here die and,he_brought_back Bənāyāh DOM the=king message to=say thus said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and,thus he,answered_me )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second phrase emphasizes the meaning of the first one by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, if you choose to represent this as a direct quotation, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Thus Joab replied to me]
OET (OET-LV) And_ Bənāyāh _he_went to the_tent_of YHWH and_he/it_said to_him/it thus he_says the_king come_out and_he/it_said no if/because here I_will_die and_ Bənāyāh _he_brought_back DOM the_king message to_say thus he_spoke Yōʼāⱱ and_thus he_answered_me.
OET (OET-RV) So Benayah entered Yahweh’s tent and he told Yoav, “The king said for you to come out.”
¶ “No, I’ll die here,” he replied.
¶ So Benayah went back to the king and reported both sides of the conversation
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.
