OET interlinear 1SA 25:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּ֨עַן נָבָ֜ל אֶת־עַבְדֵ֤י דָוִד֙ וַ⁠יֹּ֔אמֶר

and,answered Nāⱱāl DOM servants_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said

This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose Nabal said this. Alternate translation: [And Nabal replied to the servants of David]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִ֥י דָוִ֖ד וּ⁠מִ֣י בֶן־יִשָׁ֑י

who? Dāvid and,who son_of Yishay/(Jesse)

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. For emphasis, Nabal is repeating the idea they express. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [Who is David, this son of Jesse?]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֥י דָוִ֖ד וּ⁠מִ֣י בֶן־יִשָׁ֑י

who? Dāvid and,who son_of Yishay/(Jesse)

Nabal 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 exclamation. Alternate translation: [David, that son of Jesse, is not anyone I must be generous to!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אִ֖ישׁ מִ⁠פְּנֵ֥י אֲדֹנָֽי⁠ו

(a)_man from=face/in_front_of masters_of,their

Nabal is using one part of a master, his face, to mean all of him in the act of exercising authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a man from his master] or [a man from his master’s authority]
