OET (OET-LV) He_has_brought_back on_you YHWH all_of the_blood(s)_of the_house_of Shāʼūl whom you_have_reigned in_place_of_him[fn] and_ YHWH _he/it_gave DOM the_royalty in_the_hand_of ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of_your and_here_you are_in_calamity_of_your if/because are_a_man_of blood(s) you.

OET (OET-RV) “Now Yahweh’s returning to you all the blood of Sha’ul’s household. You took over as king in his place, but Yahweh’s giving the kingdom into the hand of your son Abshalom. Look at you, you’re evil because you’re a man of much bloodshed.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הֵשִׁיב֩ עָלֶ֨יךָ יְהוָ֜ה כֹּ֣ל ׀ דְּמֵ֣י בֵית־שָׁא֗וּל
(Some words not found in UHB: returned on,you YHWH all bloods_of house_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) which/who reigned in,place_of_him and=he/it_gave YHWH DOM the=royalty in,the_hand_of ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,your and,here,you [are]_in,calamity_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man blood you(ms) )
Shimei is using an expression similar to the one David used in [3:29](../03/29.md) when he spoke of the blood of Abner being on the head of Joab. By saying that Yahweh has brought the blood of the house of Saul upon David, Shimei means that Yahweh is holding David responsible for shedding this blood and punishing him for doing that. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh is holding you responsible for all of the blood of the house of Saul that you shed]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הֵשִׁיב֩ עָלֶ֨יךָ יְהוָ֜ה כֹּ֣ל ׀ דְּמֵ֣י בֵית־שָׁא֗וּל
(Some words not found in UHB: returned on,you YHWH all bloods_of house_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) which/who reigned in,place_of_him and=he/it_gave YHWH DOM the=royalty in,the_hand_of ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,your and,here,you [are]_in,calamity_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man blood you(ms) )
Shimei is using blood to represent death, since people bleed when they are killed violently. He is referring to the many people whom David’s soldiers killed when, in order to make David the king, they fought against soldiers loyal to Saul’s descendants. Alternate translation: [Yahweh is holding you responsible for the deaths of all of the people loyal to Saul whom your soldiers killed]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְהִנְּךָ֙ בְּרָ֣עָתֶ֔ךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: returned on,you YHWH all bloods_of house_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) which/who reigned in,place_of_him and=he/it_gave YHWH DOM the=royalty in,the_hand_of ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,your and,here,you [are]_in,calamity_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man blood you(ms) )
Shimei is using the term evil to represent what he believes are the consequences of evil actions on David’s part. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And behold you suffering the consequences of your evil actions]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְהִנְּךָ֙ בְּרָ֣עָתֶ֔ךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: returned on,you YHWH all bloods_of house_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) which/who reigned in,place_of_him and=he/it_gave YHWH DOM the=royalty in,the_hand_of ʼAⱱīshālōm son_of,your and,here,you [are]_in,calamity_of,your that/for/because/then/when (a)_man blood you(ms) )
Shimei is using behold you as a common expression of his culture to mean that one can behold or look at David and see that what he is saying is true. 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: [Now look at you, suffering the consequences of your evil actions] or [It is clear that you are suffering the consequences of your evil actions]

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.
