OET interlinear 2 KI 8:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

מַדּ֖וּעַ אֲדֹנִ֣⁠י בֹכֶ֑ה

why my=master weep

Even though Hazael is addressing Elisha directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as my lord to show respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a respectful form in the second person. Alternate translation: [Why are you, my lord, weeping]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠בְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל

to,the_people_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Ḩₐzā^ʼēl why my=master weep and=he/it_said that/for/because/then/when I_know DOM which/who you(ms)_will_make to,the_people_of Yisrael evil fortifications_of,their set in,fire and,their_young_of,men with,sword kill and,children_of,their dash_in_pieces and,their_pregnant_of,[women] rip_open )

See the discussion in the introduction to 2 Kings of how the author and characters may speak of “the sons of” a person to mean the nation or tribe that consists of his descendants. Alternate translation: [to the Israelites]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תְּשַׁלַּ֤ח בָּ⁠אֵשׁ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Ḩₐzā^ʼēl why my=master weep and=he/it_said that/for/because/then/when I_know DOM which/who you(ms)_will_make to,the_people_of Yisrael evil fortifications_of,their set in,fire and,their_young_of,men with,sword kill and,children_of,their dash_in_pieces and,their_pregnant_of,[women] rip_open )

Elisha is speaking as if Hazael will actually send these cities into fire. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you will set on fire] or [you will burn down]
