Jonathan is using a common expression of his culture to mean that the arrows are farther ahead of where the boy is standing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [keep going, the arrows are farther ahead of you]

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 result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [since Yahweh has sent you away, go]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=if this say to,man see/lo/see! the,arrows [are]_from,you and,beyond go that/for/because/then/when he,has_sent_you_away YHWH )
Jonathan means that under these circumstances, Yahweh would be sending David away for his own safety. He is not saying that Yahweh does not want David to be at the royal court. Saul, through his own jealousy and suspicion, is responsible for making it unsafe for David to be there. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has sent you away for your own safety]

OET (OET-RV) But if I tell the boy that they’re on the far side, go because Yahweh is sending you away.
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.
