וַהֲסִירֹ֣תָ ׀ דְּמֵ֣י חִנָּ֗ם אֲשֶׁר֙ שָׁפַ֣ךְ יוֹאָ֔ב מֵעָלַ֕י וּמֵעַ֖ל בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽי
and,remove bloods_of without_cause which/who shed Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) from,on,me and,from,on house_of father's,my
Here Solomon speaks as if the bloodshed that Joab committed were a liquid that he had poured out on Solomon and the house of his father David, and he speaks as if killing Joab will remove this liquid from them. He means that the bloodshed that Joab committed causes Solomon and the house of his father David to be guilty, and that killing Joab will cause them no longer to be guilty. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you will cleanse me and the house of my father from the bloodshed without cause with which Joab stained us” or “and you will take away from me and from the house of my father the guilt of the bloodshed without cause that Joab caused”
