(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Nātān to/towards Dāvid you(ms) the=man thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I I,anointed_you to,king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,I I,delivered_you from,the_hand_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) )
Nathan is speaking as if David actually were the man in his story. He means that David has done something just like what the man in the story did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [You are just like that man] or [You have done something just like what that man did]

כֹּה־אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אָנֹכִ֞י מְשַׁחְתִּ֤יךָֽ לְמֶ֨לֶךְ֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאָנֹכִ֥י הִצַּלְתִּ֖יךָ מִיַּ֥ד שָׁאֽוּל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Nātān to/towards Dāvid you(ms) the=man thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I I,anointed_you to,king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,I I,delivered_you from,the_hand_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, the God of Israel, says that he himself anointed you as king over Israel and that he himself delivered you from the hand of Saul]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
אָנֹכִ֞י מְשַׁחְתִּ֤יךָֽ & וְאָנֹכִ֥י הִצַּלְתִּ֖יךָ
I (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Nātān to/towards Dāvid you(ms) the=man thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I I,anointed_you to,king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,I I,delivered_you from,the_hand_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) )
See how you translated the similar expression “you, you were” in [5:2](../05/02.md). Alternate translation: [I personally ensured that the Israelites would anoint you … and I personally delivered you]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
מִיַּ֥ד שָׁאֽוּל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Nātān to/towards Dāvid you(ms) the=man thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I I,anointed_you to,king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,I I,delivered_you from,the_hand_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) )
Here, hand represents the actions of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in [3:18](../03/18.md). Alternate translation: [from Saul when he was trying to kill you]
OET (OET-LV) And_ Nātān _he/it_said to Dāvid you the_man thus YHWH he_says the_god_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) I I_anointed_you to_king over Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_I I_delivered_you from_the_hand_of Shāʼūl/(Saul).
OET (OET-RV) Then Natan said to David, “You are that rich man. Yahweh, the god of Yisrael, says to you: ‘I myself anointed you as king over Yisrael, and I myself kept you safe from Sha’ul.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
