OET interlinear 2 SAM 23:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

נְאֻ֧ם דָּוִ֣ד בֶּן־יִשַׁ֗י וּ⁠נְאֻ֤ם הַ⁠גֶּ֨בֶר֙ הֻ֣קַם עָ֔ל

oracle_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=these words_of Dāvid (the),last oracle_of Dāvid son_of Yishay/(Jesse) and,the_utterance_of of,the_man exalted on_high anointed_of god_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and,the_pleasant_[one]_of songs_of Yisrael )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. It may be clearer in your language to connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Review from your work on [chapter 22](../22/01.md) how you decided as a team to represent Hebrew poetry in your translation. Alternate translation: [An oracle of David the son of Jesse, yes, an oracle of the man raised to height] or [An oracle of David the son of Jesse, who was a man raised to height]

הַ⁠גֶּ֨בֶר֙ הֻ֣קַם עָ֔ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and=these words_of Dāvid (the),last oracle_of Dāvid son_of Yishay/(Jesse) and,the_utterance_of of,the_man exalted on_high anointed_of god_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and,the_pleasant_[one]_of songs_of Yisrael )

The expression raised 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: [the man whom God raised to height]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַ⁠גֶּ֨בֶר֙ הֻ֣קַם עָ֔ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and=these words_of Dāvid (the),last oracle_of Dāvid son_of Yishay/(Jesse) and,the_utterance_of of,the_man exalted on_high anointed_of god_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and,the_pleasant_[one]_of songs_of Yisrael )

The author is speaking of David’s position of authority as if it were a height. He means that God gave David great power and honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the man whom God put in an important position]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מְשִׁ֨יחַ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב

(Some words not found in UHB: and=these words_of Dāvid (the),last oracle_of Dāvid son_of Yishay/(Jesse) and,the_utterance_of of,the_man exalted on_high anointed_of god_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) and,the_pleasant_[one]_of songs_of Yisrael )

The expression the anointed of the God of Jacob 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: [the one whom the God of Jacob anointed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֵ֣י יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב

god_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob)

The author is using the possessive form to describe the God of Jacob that is characterized by Jacob, meaning this is the God who chose Jacob and his descendants and who made covenant promises to them. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the God with whom the descendants of Jacob are in a covenant relationship]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וּ⁠נְעִ֖ים זְמִר֥וֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

The author is using the possessive form to describe songs that people in Israel heard and sang. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and the one in whose songs the Israelites delighted]
