OET (OET-RV) “Far from it,” Yonatan responded. “You won’t die. Listen, my father doesn’t do anything, big or small, without telling me. So why would my father hide this from me if it was his plan? No, you’re wrong.”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר ל֣וֹ
and=he/it_said to=him/it
The pronoun he refers to Jonathan, while the pronoun him refers to David. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Jonathan said to David]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
חָלִילָה֮
never!,
See how you translated the similar expression in [2:30](../02/30.md). Alternate translation: [Far be it from me to let that happen]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הִנֵּ֡ה
see/lo/see!
See how you translated the term “Behold” in [2:31](../02/31.md).
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
דָּבָ֣ר גָּד֗וֹל א֚וֹ דָּבָ֣ר קָטֹ֔ן
anything big/great or anything small
Jonathan is speaking of two extremes in order to mean them and everything in between. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [anything at all]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְלֹ֥א יִגְלֶ֖ה אֶת־אָזְנִ֑י
and=not confiding DOM ear_of,me
Jonathan is using a common expression of his culture to mean that his father tells him such things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [without telling me]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמַדּוּעַ֩ יַסְתִּ֨יר אָבִ֥י מִמֶּ֛נִּי אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּ֖ה
and,why hide father_of,my from,me DOM the,thing the=this
Jonathan is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [So my father would not hide this thing from me!]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֵ֥ין זֹֽאת
not this(f)
Jonathan is using a common expression of his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [This cannot be happening]
20:2-3 Jonathan was naive about his father’s intentions. David’s willingness to swear . . . by the Lord showed how convinced he was about Saul’s intentions.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
