OET interlinear PSA 52:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

כְּ⁠תַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: when,came Doʼēg the,Edomite and,he_told to,Saul and=he/it_said to=him/it he/it_came Dāvid to/towards house_of ʼAḩīmelek )

The expression sharpened is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Like a sharp razor] or [Like a razor that someone has sharpened]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠תַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: when,came Doʼēg the,Edomite and,he_told to,Saul and=he/it_said to=him/it he/it_came Dāvid to/towards house_of ʼAḩīmelek )

The point of this comparison is that just as a sharpened razor is dangerous and potentially destructive, so is Doeg’s tongue. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [Like a dangerous sharpened razor] or [Like a dangerously sharp razor]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הַ֭וּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשׁוֹנֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: when,came Doʼēg the,Edomite and,he_told to,Saul and=he/it_said to=him/it he/it_came Dāvid to/towards house_of ʼAḩīmelek )

David is speaking of Doeg’s tongue as if it were a living thing that could devise calamities. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what you say causes calamities]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: when,came Doʼēg the,Edomite and,he_told to,Saul and=he/it_said to=him/it he/it_came Dāvid to/towards house_of ʼAḩīmelek )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of betrayal, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [you who have betrayed innocent people to their deaths]
