Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
כִּ֠י
that/for/because/then/when
The word For introduces a reason why the Israelites should do what Samuel told them in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [You should not turn aside, because]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
לֹֽא־יִטֹּ֤שׁ יְהוָה֙ אֶת־עַמּ֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר שְׁמ֣וֹ הַגָּד֑וֹל כִּ֚י הוֹאִ֣יל יְהוָ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת אֶתְכֶ֛ם ל֖וֹ לְעָֽם
not abandon YHWH DOM people_of,his in=account_of his/its=name the,great that/for/because/then/when pleased YHWH for=doing DOM,you_all to=him/it as,people
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since Yahweh was pleased to make you into a people for himself, because of his great name, Yahweh will not forsake his people]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שְׁמ֣וֹ הַגָּד֑וֹל
his/its=name the,great
Samuel is using the term name by association to mean Yahweh’s reputation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [his great reputation]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּ֚י הוֹאִ֣יל יְהוָ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת אֶתְכֶ֛ם ל֖וֹ לְעָֽם
that/for/because/then/when pleased YHWH for=doing DOM,you_all to=him/it as,people
See the discussion of the meaning of this statement in the Introduction to this chapter.
12:22 because that would dishonor his great name: God will never contradict his own character and detract from his glory (see also Isa 37:35; 43:25; 48:9-11). Therefore, he always keeps his covenant promises, even if his people do not.
• his very own people: Israel is God’s treasured possession (see Exod 19:5; Deut 9:25-29). He will never abandon them (see Rom 11:1-5, 25-32).

OET (OET-RV) Yahweh won’t abandon his people because he has an excellent reputation to uphold, especially since he’s declared you all to be his people.
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.
