OET interlinear 2 KI 13:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּ֣פֶן אֲלֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_showed_favor_to YHWH DOM=them and,he,had_compassion_on_them and,he_turned to,them because_of covenant_of,his DOM ʼAⱱrāhām Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and,Jacob and=not would to,destroy_them and=not he,threw_them from=under his/its=faces/face until now )

The author is speaking as if Yahweh had actually turned to look at the Israelites. He means that Yahweh paid attention to them out of concern for them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he paid attention to them out of concern for them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לֹֽא־הִשְׁלִיכָ֥⁠ם

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_showed_favor_to YHWH DOM=them and,he,had_compassion_on_them and,he_turned to,them because_of covenant_of,his DOM ʼAⱱrāhām Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and,Jacob and=not would to,destroy_them and=not he,threw_them from=under his/its=faces/face until now )

The author is speaking as if Yahweh might actually have cast or thrown the Israelites somewhere. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he has not allowed anyone to take them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מֵֽ⁠עַל־פָּנָ֖י⁠ו

from=under (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_showed_favor_to YHWH DOM=them and,he,had_compassion_on_them and,he_turned to,them because_of covenant_of,his DOM ʼAⱱrāhām Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and,Jacob and=not would to,destroy_them and=not he,threw_them from=under his/its=faces/face until now )

Here, the face of Yahweh represents his presence, and in this context it means specifically the land of Israel, where Yahweh was understood to be present in a special way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [away from the land of Israel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַד־עָֽתָּה

until (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_showed_favor_to YHWH DOM=them and,he,had_compassion_on_them and,he_turned to,them because_of covenant_of,his DOM ʼAⱱrāhām Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and,Jacob and=not would to,destroy_them and=not he,threw_them from=under his/its=faces/face until now )

The author is using the term now to refer to the time at which he is writing. As in the case of the phrase “to this day,” translators should bear in mind that the phrase refers to a time that is now in the past. They should avoid giving the impression that it means the present day of the translation’s readers. Alternate translation: [up to the time of this writing]
