Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יַּ֡עַן יוֹנָדָ֣ב ׀ בֶּן־שִׁמְעָ֨ה אֲחִֽי־דָוִ֜ד וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

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: [But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah the brother of David, responded]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אַל־יֹאמַ֤ר אֲדֹנִ⁠י֙ אֵ֣ת כָּל־הַ⁠נְּעָרִ֤ים בְּנֵֽי־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הֵמִ֔יתוּ כִּֽי־אַמְנ֥וֹן לְ⁠בַדּ֖⁠וֹ מֵ֑ת

not think my=master DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since Amnon alone has died, may my lord not say, ‘All of the young men, the sons of the king, have been killed.’]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

אַל־יֹאמַ֤ר אֲדֹנִ⁠י֙ אֵ֣ת כָּל־הַ⁠נְּעָרִ֤ים בְּנֵֽי־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הֵמִ֔יתוּ

not think my=master DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [May my lord not say that all of the young men, the sons of the king, have been killed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אַל־יֹאמַ֤ר אֲדֹנִ⁠י֙

not think my=master

Even though Jonadab is addressing David directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as my lord to show respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a respectful form in the second person. Alternate translation: [Please do not say, my lord]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֵ֣ת כָּל־הַ⁠נְּעָרִ֤ים בְּנֵֽי־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הֵמִ֔יתוּ

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

The expression have been killed is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Absalom has killed all of the young men, the sons of the king] or [All of the young men, the sons of the king, are dead]

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

Here the word For provides not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [You see]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל־פִּ֤י אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ הָיְתָ֣ה שׂוּמָ֔ה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

By saying it was placed on the mouth of Absalom, Jonadab is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Absalom had been talking about this. (The context suggests that he had been talking about it only to himself or perhaps a few close confidants over the previous two years, not talking about it publicly.) If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Absalom has been telling himself that he would do this]

Note 8 topic: writing-pronouns

מִ⁠יּוֹם֙ עַנֹּת֔⁠וֹ אֵ֖ת תָּמָ֥ר אֲחֹתֽ⁠וֹ

from,the_day_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered Yōnādāⱱ/(Jonadab) son_of Shimˊāh brother_of Dāvid's and=he/it_said not think my=master DOM all/each/any/every the_young,men sons_of the=king killed that/for/because/then/when ʼAmnōn for=him/it=being_alone dead that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in talking_about_of ʼAⱱīshālōm she/it_was determined from,the_day_of humbled,he DOM Tāmār sister_of,his )

The pronoun his refers to Amnon in the first instance and to Absalom in the second instance. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state these names explicitly. Alternate translation: [from the day when Amnon humbled Absalom’s sister Tamar]
