OET interlinear 2 SAM 19:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יַּ֨עַן אֲבִישַׁ֤י בֶּן־צְרוּיָה֙ וַ⁠יֹּ֔אמֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAⱱīshay son_of Tsərū^yāh/(Zeruiah) and=he/it_said in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death Shimˊī that/for/because/then/when cursed DOM anointed_of YHWH )

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. (Shimei had addressed David rather than Abishai, so it was not Shimei personally whom Abishai answered. Rather, he was responding to the situation.) Alternate translation: [And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responded]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠תַ֣חַת זֹ֔את לֹ֥א יוּמַ֖ת שִׁמְעִ֑י

in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAⱱīshay son_of Tsərū^yāh/(Zeruiah) and=he/it_said in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death Shimˊī that/for/because/then/when cursed DOM anointed_of YHWH )

Abishai is using the question form for emphasis. 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: [In place of this, Shimei should be killed!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הֲ⁠תַ֣חַת זֹ֔את לֹ֥א יוּמַ֖ת שִׁמְעִ֑י

in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAⱱīshay son_of Tsərū^yāh/(Zeruiah) and=he/it_said in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death Shimˊī that/for/because/then/when cursed DOM anointed_of YHWH )

The expression shall not Shimei be 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: [In place of this, should you not kill Shimei?] or [In place of this, you should kill Shimei!]

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

אֶת־מְשִׁ֥יחַ יְהוָֽה

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAⱱīshay son_of Tsərū^yāh/(Zeruiah) and=he/it_said in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death Shimˊī that/for/because/then/when cursed DOM anointed_of YHWH )

Even though Abishai is addressing David directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as the anointed of Yahweh 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: [you, the anointed of Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אֶת־מְשִׁ֥יחַ יְהוָֽה

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered ʼAⱱīshay son_of Tsərū^yāh/(Zeruiah) and=he/it_said in,place_of? this(f) not put_to_death Shimˊī that/for/because/then/when cursed DOM anointed_of YHWH )

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:14. Alternate translation: [the anointed one of Yahweh] or [the one whom Yahweh anointed as king]
