OET interlinear 1 SAM 14:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּעַן֩ אִ֨ישׁ מֵֽ⁠הָ⁠עָ֜ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered (a)_man of,the,people and=he/it_said to_bind_oath he_bound_oath father_of,your DOM the,people to=say cursing the=man which/who eats food/grain/bread the=day and,it_was_weary the,people )

Here the author is using answered to express that the man was responding to seeing Jonathan eat the honey rather than to something that Jonathan had asked. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And a man from the people responded]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered (a)_man of,the,people and=he/it_said to_bind_oath he_bound_oath father_of,your DOM the,people to=say cursing the=man which/who eats food/grain/bread the=day and,it_was_weary the,people )

The term and said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

הַשְׁבֵּעַ֩ הִשְׁבִּ֨יעַ אָבִ֤י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered (a)_man of,the,people and=he/it_said to_bind_oath he_bound_oath father_of,your DOM the,people to=say cursing the=man which/who eats food/grain/bread the=day and,it_was_weary the,people )

The man is repeating forms of the verb “adjure” to intensify his communication of the fact that Saul had made the people agree with his oath. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [Your father certainly adjured]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לֶ֖חֶם

food/grain/bread

The man is using the term bread to represent food in general, as Saul did in his oath. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [anything]
