OET (OET-LV) And_he_swore_an_oath again Dāvid and_he/it_said well_(know) I_will_show_you(ms) he_knows if/because_that favour I_have_found in_your_two’s_of_eyes and_he/it_said not let_him_know this Yōnātān lest he_should_be_grieved and_but by_the_life of_YHWH and_by_the_life your_self_of_of if/because about_a_step is_between_me and_between (the)_death.

OET (OET-RV) “For sure, your father knows that you’ve taken a liking to me,” said David, “and he would have decided not to tell you so you wouldn’t be upset.” Then David made an oath again, “Indeed, as Yahweh is alive, and as your soul is alive, death is definitely only a step away from me.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

יָדֹ֨עַ יָדַ֜ע אָבִ֗י⁠ךָ

to_know knowing I_will_show=you(ms)

David is repeating forms of the verb “know” in order to intensify his expression of the idea it conveys. 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 knows]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּ⁠עֵינֶ֔י⁠ךָ

found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in,your_two's_of,eyes

See you translated the similar expression in [1:18](../01/18.md). Alternate translation: [you are favorably disposed toward me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַ⁠יֹּ֛אמֶר אַל־יֵֽדַע־זֹ֥את יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן פֶּן־יֵֽעָצֵ֑ב

and=he/it_said not know this(f) Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) lest grieved

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [So he decided not to let you know about this, so you would not be grieved]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

פֶּן־יֵֽעָצֵ֑ב

lest grieved

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [lest it grieve him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

חַי־יְהוָה֙ וְ⁠חֵ֣י נַפְשֶׁ֔⁠ךָ

he/it_lived YHWH and_[by],the_life your_self_of,of

David is using one part of Jonathan, his soul, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the life of Yahweh, and your life]

Note 6 topic: writing-oathformula

חַי־יְהוָה֙ וְ⁠חֵ֣י נַפְשֶׁ֔⁠ךָ

he/it_lived YHWH and_[by],the_life your_self_of,of

See how you translated the similar expressions in [14:39](../14/39.md), [14:45](../14/45.md), and [19:06](../19/06.md). Alternate translation: [I swear by Yahweh and I swear by your life that]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כְ⁠פֶ֔שַׂע בֵּינִ֖⁠י וּ⁠בֵ֥ין הַ⁠מָּֽוֶת

about,a_step [is]_between,me and=between (the),death

David is speaking as if death were an object or a location a short distance away from him that he could reach by taking about a step. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am just about to be killed]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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.

OET (OET-LV) And_he_swore_an_oath again Dāvid and_he/it_said well_(know) I_will_show_you(ms) he_knows if/because_that favour I_have_found in_your_two’s_of_eyes and_he/it_said not let_him_know this Yōnātān lest he_should_be_grieved and_but by_the_life of_YHWH and_by_the_life your_self_of_of if/because about_a_step is_between_me and_between (the)_death.

OET (OET-RV) “For sure, your father knows that you’ve taken a liking to me,” said David, “and he would have decided not to tell you so you wouldn’t be upset.” Then David made an oath again, “Indeed, as Yahweh is alive, and as your soul is alive, death is definitely only a step away from me.”

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.OET logo mark
