Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיּוֹצִ֣א
and,he_brought_out
The pronoun he refers to Jehoiada. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Jehoiada brought out]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאֶת־הָ֣עֵד֔וּת
and=DOM the,testimony
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 he gave him the testimony]
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
וְאֶת־הָ֣עֵד֔וּת
and=DOM the,testimony
Giving the new king Joash the testimony, that is, a copy of the law of Moses (or at least some part of it, such as the laws for kings) was a symbolic action that indicated the obligation Joash had to govern according to Yahweh’s commands and covenant. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / events
וַיַּמְלִ֥כוּ אֹת֖וֹ וַיִּמְשָׁחֻ֑הוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_brought_out DOM son_of the=king and=he/it_gave on/upon/above=him/it DOM the,crown and=DOM the,testimony and,they_made_king DOM=him/it and,they,anointed_him and,they_struck hands and=they_said long_live the,king )
The author is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. If it would be helpful your language, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [and they anointed him and made him the king]
Note 5 topic: translate-symaction
וַיַּכּוּ־כָ֔ף
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_brought_out DOM son_of the=king and=he/it_gave on/upon/above=him/it DOM the,crown and=DOM the,testimony and,they_made_king DOM=him/it and,they,anointed_him and,they_struck hands and=they_said long_live the,king )
This expression means that the people clapped their hands together or applauded. This was a symbolic action by which they showed their approval of Joash becoming king and their acceptance of him as their ruler. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And they clapped their hands to show that they approved of Joash becoming king]
Note 6 topic: writing-politeness
יְחִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
long_live (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_brought_out DOM son_of the=king and=he/it_gave on/upon/above=him/it DOM the,crown and=DOM the,testimony and,they_made_king DOM=him/it and,they,anointed_him and,they_struck hands and=they_said long_live the,king )
The people were saluting Joash with the courteous expression that people in this culture used to wish a ruler a long and prosperous reign. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. If you have already translated the book of 1 Kings, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Kings 1:25](../1ki/01/25.md). Alternate translation: [Long live the king]
OET (OET-LV) And_he_brought_out DOM the_son_of the_king and_he/it_gave on/upon/above_him/it DOM the_crown and_DOM the_transcript and_they_made_king DOM_him/it and_they_anointed_him and_they_struck a_palm and_they_said may_he_live the_king.
OET (OET-RV) Then the priest brought young Yoash out and put the crown on his head. He handed him the official scroll, and they anointed him and made him king. Then they clapped their hands and shouted, “Long live the king!”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
