OET interlinear 1 SAM 29:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יַּ֣עַן אָכִישׁ֮ וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל־דָּוִד֒

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAkīsh and=he/it_said to/towards Dāvid I_know that/for/because/then/when good you(ms) in,eyes_of,my like,an_angel_of ʼElohīm nevertheless commanders_of Pəlishtiy said not it_will_ascend with,us in,battle )

The expression and said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this expression explicitly. Alternate translation: [And Achish replied to David]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ט֥וֹב אַתָּ֛ה בְּ⁠עֵינַ֖⁠י

good (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAkīsh and=he/it_said to/towards Dāvid I_know that/for/because/then/when good you(ms) in,eyes_of,my like,an_angel_of ʼElohīm nevertheless commanders_of Pəlishtiy said not it_will_ascend with,us in,battle )

See how you translated the similar expressions in 29:6 and 29:7. Alternate translation: [you are acceptable to me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠מַלְאַ֣ךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAkīsh and=he/it_said to/towards Dāvid I_know that/for/because/then/when good you(ms) in,eyes_of,my like,an_angel_of ʼElohīm nevertheless commanders_of Pəlishtiy said not it_will_ascend with,us in,battle )

The point of this comparison is that just as an angel of God is completely innocent and trustworthy, so David has been completely innocent and trustworthy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [like an innocent, trustworthy angel of God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

אָֽמְר֔וּ לֹֽא־יַעֲלֶ֥ה עִמָּ֖⁠נוּ בַּ⁠מִּלְחָמָֽה

said not it_will_ascend (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAkīsh and=he/it_said to/towards Dāvid I_know that/for/because/then/when good you(ms) in,eyes_of,my like,an_angel_of ʼElohīm nevertheless commanders_of Pəlishtiy said not it_will_ascend with,us in,battle )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [have said that you must not go up with us into the battle]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

לֹֽא־יַעֲלֶ֥ה עִמָּ֖⁠נוּ בַּ⁠מִּלְחָמָֽה

not it_will_ascend (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAkīsh and=he/it_said to/towards Dāvid I_know that/for/because/then/when good you(ms) in,eyes_of,my like,an_angel_of ʼElohīm nevertheless commanders_of Pəlishtiy said not it_will_ascend with,us in,battle )

By saying go up, the Philistine lords are marking travel for change in elevation. In this instance, they are referring to marching up from the coastal plain into Israel. In 29:4, they were envisioning going down into the valley to fight. Express this in a way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [He shall not go with us into the battle]
