OET interlinear 1 KI 9:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּנֵי⁠הֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: descendants_of,their which/who left after,them on_the=earth which/who not able sons_of Yisrael to,totally,destroy_them and,he,raised_them Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,forced_labor_of tilling_of until the=day (the),this )

The masculine term sons has a generic sense here that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [their descendants]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹֽא־יָכְל֛וּ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְ⁠הַֽחֲרִימָ֑⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: descendants_of,their which/who left after,them on_the=earth which/who not able sons_of Yisrael to,totally,destroy_them and,he,raised_them Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,forced_labor_of tilling_of until the=day (the),this )

It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [whom the sons of Israel were not able to devote]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠הַֽחֲרִימָ֑⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: descendants_of,their which/who left after,them on_the=earth which/who not able sons_of Yisrael to,totally,destroy_them and,he,raised_them Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,forced_labor_of tilling_of until the=day (the),this )

The word that the ULT translates as devote describes the cultural practice of giving something over to Yahweh so that humans will no longer be able to use it. If you have already translated the book of Joshua, see how you translated this term in its frequent occurrences there. In this context, the term means to “destroy completely.” Alternate translation: [to destroy completely]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יַּעֲלֵ֤⁠ם שְׁלֹמֹה֙ לְ⁠מַס־עֹבֵ֔ד

(Some words not found in UHB: descendants_of,their which/who left after,them on_the=earth which/who not able sons_of Yisrael to,totally,destroy_them and,he,raised_them Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,forced_labor_of tilling_of until the=day (the),this )

See how you translated the similar expression in [5:13](../05/13.md). Alternate translation: [Solomon called them up as a work force]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עַ֖ד הַ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּֽה

until the=day (Some words not found in UHB: descendants_of,their which/who left after,them on_the=earth which/who not able sons_of Yisrael to,totally,destroy_them and,he,raised_them Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,forced_labor_of tilling_of until the=day (the),this )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and they still serve as forced labor to this day]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַ֖ד הַ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּֽה

until the=day (Some words not found in UHB: descendants_of,their which/who left after,them on_the=earth which/who not able sons_of Yisrael to,totally,destroy_them and,he,raised_them Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,forced_labor_of tilling_of until the=day (the),this )

See how you translated the similar expression in [8:8](../08/08.md). Alternate translation: [right up to the time of this writing]
