OET-LV (SA1 24:20) [fn] And_because/when anyone he_will_find DOM enemy_of_his and_will_he_send_him_away on_a_journey good and_YHWH may_he_reward_you good in_place_of the_day the_this that_which you_have_done to_me.
24:20 Note: KJB: 1Sam.24.19
OET (OET-RV) Now if a man finds his enemy unprepared, does he just send him off happily? Well, may Yahweh reward you for your mercy towards me today.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְכִֽי־יִמְצָ֥א אִישׁ֙ אֶת־אֹ֣יְב֔וֹ וְשִׁלְּח֖וֹ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ טוֹבָ֑ה
and=because/when finds (a)_man DOM enemy_of,his (Some words not found in UHB: and=because/when finds (a)_man DOM enemy_of,his and,will,he_send_him_away? on,a_journey safely and=YHWH may,he_reward_you good below/instead_of the=day the=this which/who done to=me )
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: [Now if a man finds his enemy, he does not send him on a good way!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִמְצָ֥א
finds
See how you translated this term in 9:11. By finds, Saul is describing a situation in which a man unexpectedly encounters someone. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [encounters]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ טוֹבָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=because/when finds (a)_man DOM enemy_of,his and,will,he_send_him_away? on,a_journey safely and=YHWH may,he_reward_you good below/instead_of the=day the=this which/who done to=me )
Saul is speaking of this way as good to represent the condition of the enemy a man would surprisingly send on it. The enemy would be in good condition, that is, unharmed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [away in good condition] or [away unharmed]

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.
