uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH as,judge and,decide between,me and,between,you and,see and,plead DOM cause_of,my and,vindicate,me from=your(ms)=hand )

The author is using the term words by association to mean the things that David said by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [saying these things]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠קֹלְ⁠ךָ֥ זֶ֖ה בְּנִ֣⁠י דָוִ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH as,judge and,decide between,me and,between,you and,see and,plead DOM cause_of,my and,vindicate,me from=your(ms)=hand )

Saul 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. Alternate translation: [I recognize your voice, my son David!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הֲ⁠קֹלְ⁠ךָ֥ זֶ֖ה בְּנִ֣⁠י דָוִ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH as,judge and,decide between,me and,between,you and,see and,plead DOM cause_of,my and,vindicate,me from=your(ms)=hand )

Saul is using the term voice by association to refer to David speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Is it you speaking to me, my son David?] or [I recognize that it is you speaking to me, my son David!]

Note 4 topic: translate-kinship

בְּנִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH as,judge and,decide between,me and,between,you and,see and,plead DOM cause_of,my and,vindicate,me from=your(ms)=hand )

Saul is using this kinship term to acknowledge David as the husband of his daughter. Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Be sure that the term you choose is affectionate and embracing. Previously Saul has referred to David disdainfully as the “son of Jesse.” Here he acknowledges him as a member by marriage of the royal family. Alternate translation: [my son-in-law]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּשָּׂ֥א שָׁא֛וּל קֹל֖⁠וֹ וַ⁠יֵּֽבְךְּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH as,judge and,decide between,me and,between,you and,see and,plead DOM cause_of,my and,vindicate,me from=your(ms)=hand )

The author is speaking as if Saul’s voice were an object that he could have lifted up. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Saul spoke loudly and wept]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יִּשָּׂ֥א שָׁא֛וּל קֹל֖⁠וֹ וַ⁠יֵּֽבְךְּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH as,judge and,decide between,me and,between,you and,see and,plead DOM cause_of,my and,vindicate,me from=your(ms)=hand )

This expression conveys a single idea by using two phrases connected with and. The expression lifted up his voice tells in what way Saul wept. Alternate translation: [And Saul wept in a loud voice] or [And Saul wept loudly]
