OET interlinear 2 SAM 24:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

קָנ֨וֹ אֶקְנֶ֤ה

to_buy buy

David is repeating forms of the verb buy in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [I will certainly buy it]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king to/towards ʼAravnāh not that/for/because/then/when to_buy buy from,with,you for,a_price and=not offer to/for=YHWH God_of,my burnt_offerings cost_~_nothing and,he_bought Dāvid DOM the_threshing,floor and=DOM the,ox[en] for,silver shekels fifty )

These 50 shekels of silver weighed about 570 grams or 1.25 pounds. In your translation, you could use the ancient measurement and spell the word “shekel” the way it sounds in your language. You could also use the metric measurement given in the UST or use the measurement that your language and culture customarily use. Alternatively, you could use the ancient measurement and put a modern measurement in parentheses in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [570 grams of silver] or [50 pieces of silver weighing about one and a quarter pounds]
