OET (OET-RV) But now your kingdom won’t survive. Yahweh has found a man who’s loyal to him and he’s commanded that man to lead his people, because you haven’t obeyed him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
מַמְלַכְתְּךָ֣ לֹא־תָק֑וּם
kingdom_of,your not endure
Samuel is speaking of Saul’s kingdom as if it were a living thing that could stand on its own. He is using this image to mean that Saul’s dynasty would not continue. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your descendants will not rule after you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בִּקֵּשׁ֩ יְהוָ֨ה
he/it_asked YHWH
Samuel is using one part of the process of finding something, seeking it, to represent that entire process. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has found]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כִּלְבָב֗וֹ
after,heart_of,his_own
Samuel is using Yahweh’s heart to represent his desires and values. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who shares his values] or [who wants what he wants]
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַיְצַוֵּ֨הוּ יְהוָ֤ה לְנָגִיד֙ עַל־עַמּ֔וֹ כִּ֚י לֹ֣א שָׁמַ֔רְתָּ אֵ֥ת אֲשֶֽׁר־צִוְּךָ֖ יְהוָֽה
and,appointed,him YHWH as,ruler on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in people_of,his that/for/because/then/when not kept DOM what commanded,you YHWH
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: [and since you have not kept what Yahweh commanded you, Yahweh has commanded him to be ruler over his people]
13:14 a man after his own heart: This prophecy pertains to David (see also Acts 13:22) rather than to Saul’s son Jonathan. The rejection of Saul was also the rejection of his family dynasty.

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.
