שָׁא֣וּל וִיהוֹנָתָ֗ן הַנֶּאֱהָבִ֤ים וְהַנְּעִימִם֙ בְּחַיֵּיהֶ֔ם וּבְמוֹתָ֖ם לֹ֣א נִפְרָ֑דוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,Jonathan (the),lovable and,(the),pleasant in,lives_of,their and,in,death_of,their not parted more,than_eagles swifter more,than_lions stronger )
If your language would not use the passive forms were being loved and were not separated, you could express these ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [While Saul and Jonathan were alive, people loved them and delighted in them, and when they died, they were together]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
מִנְּשָׁרִ֣ים קַ֔לּוּ מֵאֲרָי֖וֹת גָּבֵֽרוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,Jonathan (the),lovable and,(the),pleasant in,lives_of,their and,in,death_of,their not parted more,than_eagles swifter more,than_lions stronger )
David is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [They were swift like eagles; they were mighty like lions]

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.
