15:20 OSHB variant note: אנוע/ך: (x-qere) ’אֲנִֽיעֲ/ךָ֤’: lemma_5128 morph_HVhi1cs/Sp2ms id_10NXX אֲנִֽיעֲ/ךָ֤
OET (OET-RV) You haven’t been here long, and we don’t even know where we’re going. I certainly need to leave but you can return with your relatives. May Yahweh show kindness and faithfulness to you all.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
תְּמ֣וֹל ׀ בּוֹאֶ֗ךָ וְהַיּ֞וֹם אֲנִֽיעֲךָ֤ עִמָּ֨נוּ֙ לָלֶ֔כֶת וַאֲנִ֣י הוֹלֵ֔ךְ עַ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִ֖י הוֹלֵ֑ךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
David is using the question form to express that he should not make Ittai the Gittite wander with him. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Since yesterday was your coming, today I should not make you wander with us to go, when I am going upon where I am going.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
תְּמ֣וֹל
(Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
David is using Yesterday as a common expression of his culture to mean “only recently” or “a little while ago.” 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: [Only recently]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
אֲנִֽיעֲךָ֤ עִמָּ֨נוּ֙ לָלֶ֔כֶת
(Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
The phrase wander with us to go expresses a single idea. The word wander tells in what way Itta would have to go with David if he accompanied him. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [shall I make you go wandering with us]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַאֲנִ֣י הוֹלֵ֔ךְ עַ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִ֖י הוֹלֵ֑ךְ
and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
David is using when I am going upon where I am going as a common expression of his culture to mean “when I do not know where I am going.” 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: [when I am going I know not where] or [when I will have to go wherever I can]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶת־אַחֶ֛יךָ
DOM brothers_of,your
David is speaking as if Ittai’s soldiers were actually his brothers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your soldiers]
Note 6 topic: translate-blessing
עִמָּ֖ךְ חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת
(Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
David is asking God to bless Ittai. In your translation, use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. You might express this as a prayer, if that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I pray that Yahweh will make kindness and faithfulness be with you]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
עִמָּ֖ךְ חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת
(Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of kindness and faithfulness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [I pray that Yahweh will make people kind and loyal to you]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עִמָּ֖ךְ חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת
(Some words not found in UHB: yesterday coming,your and,this,day will,I_make_you_wander? with,us to=go and,I go on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in which/who I going go_back and,take_back DOM brothers_of,your [be]_with,you kindness and,truth )
From the vow that Ittai makes in [verse 21](../15/21.md), it is clear that he has been kind and loyal to David, and David is wishing the same for him. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I pray that Yahweh will make people kind and loyal to you, just as you have been to me]

OET (OET-RV) You haven’t been here long, and we don’t even know where we’re going. I certainly need to leave but you can return with your relatives. May Yahweh show kindness and faithfulness to you all.”
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.
