OET interlinear 1 KI 6:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אִם־תֵּלֵ֤ךְ בְּ⁠חֻקֹּתַ⁠י֙ וְ⁠אֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַ֣⁠י תַּֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְ⁠שָׁמַרְתָּ֥ אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֺתַ֖⁠י לָ⁠לֶ֣כֶת בָּ⁠הֶ֑ם

if (Some words not found in UHB: the,house the=this which/who you(ms) building if walk in,statutes_of,my and=DOM judgments_of,my obey and,you_will_keep DOM all/each/any/every commandments_of,my to=go (is)_in=them and,I_will_establish DOM word_of,my with,you which/who made to/towards Dāvid father_of,your )

See how you translated the similar expression in [3:14](../03/14.md). You may have chosen to indicate that the image of walking represents living, and you may have chosen to express the meaning of the similar terms “statutes” and “commandments” with a single term. (You can include the further term that occurs here, judgments, in such a single term.) Alternate translation: [if, by obeying all of my laws, you live as I want people to live]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אִם־תֵּלֵ֤ךְ בְּ⁠חֻקֹּתַ⁠י֙ וְ⁠אֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַ֣⁠י תַּֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְ⁠שָׁמַרְתָּ֥ אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֺתַ֖⁠י לָ⁠לֶ֣כֶת בָּ⁠הֶ֑ם

if (Some words not found in UHB: the,house the=this which/who you(ms) building if walk in,statutes_of,my and=DOM judgments_of,my obey and,you_will_keep DOM all/each/any/every commandments_of,my to=go (is)_in=them and,I_will_establish DOM word_of,my with,you which/who made to/towards Dāvid father_of,your )

It might seem that saying if you walk … by walking in them would be to express extra information in a way that would not be natural in your language. If so, if you choose to retain the image of walking in your translation, you could choose to express it only once. Alternate translation: [if you walk in all of my laws]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠הֲקִמֹתִ֤י אֶת־דְּבָרִ⁠י֙ אִתָּ֔⁠ךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי אֶל

and,I_will_establish DOM (Some words not found in UHB: the,house the=this which/who you(ms) building if walk in,statutes_of,my and=DOM judgments_of,my obey and,you_will_keep DOM all/each/any/every commandments_of,my to=go (is)_in=them and,I_will_establish DOM word_of,my with,you which/who made to/towards Dāvid father_of,your )

See how you translated the similar expression in [2:4](../02/04.md). Alternate translation: [then I will make happen for you what I said when I spoke with]
