OET interlinear 1SA 26:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַֽ⁠יהוָה֙ יָשִׁ֣יב לָ⁠אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־צִדְקָת֖⁠וֹ וְ⁠אֶת־אֱמֻנָת֑⁠וֹ

and=YHWH rewards to_the,every_man DOM righteousness_of,his and=DOM faithfulness_of,his

David is speaking as if righteousness and faithfulness were objects that Yahweh could return to a person. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And may Yahweh reward each person for his righteousness and his faithfulness]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַֽ⁠יהוָה֙ יָשִׁ֣יב לָ⁠אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־צִדְקָת֖⁠וֹ וְ⁠אֶת־אֱמֻנָת֑⁠וֹ

and=YHWH rewards to_the,every_man DOM righteousness_of,his and=DOM faithfulness_of,his

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of righteousness and faithfulness, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [And may Yahweh reward each person for the righteous and faithful things he has done]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יָ֔ד

in/on/at/with,hand

David is using the term hand by association to mean his power or control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [into my power]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לִ⁠שְׁלֹ֥חַ יָדִ֖⁠י בִּ⁠מְשִׁ֥יחַ יְהוָֽה

to,stretch_out hand_of,my in/on/at/with,anointed_of YHWH

David is using a common expression of his culture to mean attacking or harming someone. See how you translated the similar phrase in [22:17](../22/17.md). Alternate translation: [to use violence against the anointed one of Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בִּ⁠מְשִׁ֥יחַ יְהוָֽה

in/on/at/with,anointed_of YHWH

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: [the one whom Yahweh has anointed]
