(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered the=king and=he/it_said give to/for=her/it DOM the_[one],born (the),living and,certainly_(kill) not you(pl),must_kill_him she/it his/its=mother )

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:28.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

תְּנוּ־לָ⁠הּ֙ אֶת־הַ⁠יָּל֣וּד הַ⁠חַ֔י וְ⁠הָמֵ֖ת לֹ֣א תְמִיתֻ֑⁠הוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered the=king and=he/it_said give to/for=her/it DOM the_[one],born (the),living and,certainly_(kill) not you(pl),must_kill_him she/it his/its=mother )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about not killing the baby before the information about giving the baby to the woman. See what you decided to do with the order of this information in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [Killing, you shall not kill the living child, but give him to her]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

תְּנוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered the=king and=he/it_said give to/for=her/it DOM the_[one],born (the),living and,certainly_(kill) not you(pl),must_kill_him she/it his/its=mother )

The implied “you” in the imperative Give is plural because Solomon is addressing his servants as a group. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לָ⁠הּ֙

to/for=her/it

The implication is that King Solomon ordered the baby to be given to the woman who wanted the baby to live rather than be killed. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to the woman who pleaded for his life]
