OET interlinear 1 KI 3:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַּ⁠יּ֤וֹם הַ⁠שְּׁלִישִׁי֙ לְ⁠לִדְתִּ֔⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=third of,my_giving,birth and=she/it_gave_birth also/yet the=woman (the),this and,we together not else with,us in,house only two us [were]_in,house )

In this culture, the current day was considered the first day, the next day was considered the second day, and the day after that was considered the third day. In your translation, describe these days as your language and culture naturally would. Alternate translation, as in the UST: [two days after I gave birth]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אֵֽין־זָ֤ר אִתָּ֨⁠נוּ֙ בַּ⁠בַּ֔יִת זוּלָתִ֥י שְׁתַּֽיִם־אֲנַ֖חְנוּ בַּ⁠בָּֽיִת

not else (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=third of,my_giving,birth and=she/it_gave_birth also/yet the=woman (the),this and,we together not else with,us in,house only two us [were]_in,house )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [no one but the two of us was in the house]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֵֽין־זָ֤ר

not else

The woman does not mean that no one who was a stranger, a person unknown to the two of them, was present. She is using the term “stranger” to mean “anyone else.” You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [no other person]
