Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
וַיִּשְׁלָחֲךָ֥ יְהוָ֖ה בְּדָ֑רֶךְ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לֵ֣ךְ וְהַחֲרַמְתָּ֞ה אֶת־הַֽחַטָּאִים֙ אֶת־עֲמָלֵ֔ק וְנִלְחַמְתָּ֣ ב֔וֹ עַ֥ד כַּלּוֹתָ֖ם אֹתָֽם
and,sent,you YHWH in/on/at/with,mission and=he/it_said go and,utterly_destroy DOM the,sinners DOM ˊAmālēqites and,fight in=him/it until consumed,they DOM=them
Samuel is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [And Yahweh said, ‘Go, and you shall devote the sinners, Amalek, and you shall fight with him until the finishing of them,’ and he sent you on your way]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לֵ֣ךְ וְהַחֲרַמְתָּ֞ה אֶת־הַֽחַטָּאִים֙ אֶת־עֲמָלֵ֔ק וְנִלְחַמְתָּ֣ ב֔וֹ עַ֥ד כַּלּוֹתָ֖ם אֹתָֽם
and=he/it_said go and,utterly_destroy DOM the,sinners DOM ˊAmālēqites and,fight in=him/it until consumed,they DOM=them
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [and he told you to go and devote the sinners, Amalek, and to fight with him until you had finished them]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּדָ֑רֶךְ
in/on/at/with,mission
Samuel is speaking as if Saul’s task were a physical path he could follow. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to do a specific task]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־עֲמָלֵ֔ק & ב֔וֹ
DOM DOM ˊAmālēqites & in=him/it
Samuel is using the name of the ancestor of this people group by association to mean the people group itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the Amalekites … with them]
15:1-35 After Saul failed to obey God and completely destroy the Amalekites, God rejected him in even stronger terms than before (cp. 13:8-14).
OET (OET-LV) And_sent_you YHWH in/on/at/with_mission and_he/it_said go and_utterly_destroy DOM the_sinners DOM ˊAmālēq and_fight in_him/it until consumed_they DOM_them.
OET (OET-RV) then sent you off with the task of completely destroying the sinful Amalekites—fighting until they were all destroyed.
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.
