OET interlinear 2 SAM 1:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אַל־תַּגִּ֣ידוּ בְ⁠גַ֔ת אַֽל־תְּבַשְּׂר֖וּ בְּ⁠חוּצֹ֣ת אַשְׁקְל֑וֹן

not (Some words not found in UHB: not tell in,Gath not proclaim in,the_streets_of ʼAshqəlōn lest rejoice daughters_of Pelishtim lest exult daughters_of of,the_uncircumcised )

David is not using the pronoun they to refer to specific people. Use a comparable expression that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May no one declare it in Gath, may no one proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon] or [May it not be declared in Gath, may it not be proclaimed in the streets of Ashkelon]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַל־תַּגִּ֣ידוּ בְ⁠גַ֔ת אַֽל־תְּבַשְּׂר֖וּ בְּ⁠חוּצֹ֣ת אַשְׁקְל֑וֹן

not (Some words not found in UHB: not tell in,Gath not proclaim in,the_streets_of ʼAshqəlōn lest rejoice daughters_of Pelishtim lest exult daughters_of of,the_uncircumcised )

Following the customary practice of Hebrew poetry, David is using two phrases together that mean basically the same thing. See the discussion of this practice in the Introduction to this chapter to help you decide how you will represent such pairs of phrases in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנ֣וֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים

(Some words not found in UHB: not tell in,Gath not proclaim in,the_streets_of ʼAshqəlōn lest rejoice daughters_of Pelishtim lest exult daughters_of of,the_uncircumcised )

Here the term daughters has the same kind of meaning as the term sons in 1:18. See how you decided to translate that term there. Alternate translation: [the women of Philistia]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

בְּנ֥וֹת הָ⁠עֲרֵלִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: not tell in,Gath not proclaim in,the_streets_of ʼAshqəlōn lest rejoice daughters_of Pelishtim lest exult daughters_of of,the_uncircumcised )

David is using the adjective uncircumcised as a noun to mean people who have not been circumcised. Israelites used this as a term of derision to describe the Philistines as people did not worship Yahweh and did no obey his laws, such as the one requiring the circumcision of men. Your language may have a comparable term of derision that you can use in your translation. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated this term in 1 Samuel 14:6. Alternate translation: [the women among those heathen]
