OET interlinear 1SA 25:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

וַ⁠יָּ֤קָם אָדָם֙ לִ⁠רְדָפְ⁠ךָ֔ וּ⁠לְ⁠בַקֵּ֖שׁ אֶת־נַפְשֶׁ֑⁠ךָ וְֽ⁠הָיְתָה֩ נֶ֨פֶשׁ אֲדֹנִ֜⁠י צְרוּרָ֣ה ׀ בִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר הַ⁠חַיִּ֗ים אֵ֚ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ

and=he/it_rose_up humankind to,pursue,you and,to,seek DOM life_of,your and,be creature my=master bound in/on/at/with,bundle_of the,living DOM YHWH God_of,your

Abigail is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but she means that it is actually true. She knows that Saul has been pursuing David and seeking to kill him. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, then you could translate this as a confident statement. Alternate translation: [Even though a man has arisen to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my master will nevertheless be bound in the bundle of the living by Yahweh your God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּ֤קָם אָדָם֙

and=he/it_rose_up humankind

See how you translated the similar expression in [1:9](../01/09.md). Alternate translation: [If a man takes action]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

לִ⁠רְדָפְ⁠ךָ֔ וּ⁠לְ⁠בַקֵּ֖שׁ אֶת־נַפְשֶׁ֑⁠ךָ

to,pursue,you and,to,seek DOM life_of,your

This expression conveys a single idea by using two phrases connected with and. The phrase seek your life tells for what reason the man would pursue. Alternate translation: [in deadly pursuit of you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְֽ⁠הָיְתָה֩ נֶ֨פֶשׁ אֲדֹנִ֜⁠י צְרוּרָ֣ה ׀ בִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר הַ⁠חַיִּ֗ים אֵ֚ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ

and,be creature my=master bound in/on/at/with,bundle_of the,living DOM YHWH God_of,your

Abigail is speaking of Yahweh protecting David as if he would tie up David’s life securely in a bundle with other people whose lives he was preserving. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [then Yahweh your God will ensure that you, my master, remain among those who are alive]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְקַלְּעֶ֔⁠נָּה בְּ⁠ת֖וֹךְ כַּ֥ף הַ⁠קָּֽלַע

sling_out,it in_the=middle pocket_of the,sling

Abigail is speaking of Yahweh destroying David’s enemies as if he would use a sling to throw away their lives. The point of comparison is that Yahweh will do this suddenly and powerfully, the way a stone comes out of a sling. (Abigail seems to be making an allusion to the way David was able to kill Goliath with a stone from a sling, reminding him of Yahweh’s protection at that time.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he will end it suddenly and powerfully]
