Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אַל־תִּירָ֗א כִּ֣י עָשֹׂה֩ אֶעֱשֶׂ֨ה עִמְּ⁠ךָ֥ חֶ֨סֶד֙ בַּֽ⁠עֲבוּר֙ יְהוֹנָתָ֣ן אָבִ֔י⁠ךָ

not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Dāvid not afraid that/for/because/then/when to_show show with,you kindness because,of Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) I_will_show=you(ms) and,I_will_restore to/for=yourself(m) DOM all/each/any/every land_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) I_will_show=you(ms) and=you(ms) you(ms)_will_eat food/grain/bread on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my always )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Doing, I will do covenant faithfulness with you for the sake of Jonathan your father, so do not fear]

עָשֹׂה֩ אֶעֱשֶׂ֨ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Dāvid not afraid that/for/because/then/when to_show show with,you kindness because,of Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) I_will_show=you(ms) and,I_will_restore to/for=yourself(m) DOM all/each/any/every land_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) I_will_show=you(ms) and=you(ms) you(ms)_will_eat food/grain/bread on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my always )

David is repeating forms of the verb do 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 do]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it Dāvid not afraid that/for/because/then/when to_show show with,you kindness because,of Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) I_will_show=you(ms) and,I_will_restore to/for=yourself(m) DOM all/each/any/every land_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) I_will_show=you(ms) and=you(ms) you(ms)_will_eat food/grain/bread on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in table_of,my always )

In this verse, the word field is singular in form, but it refers to all of Saul’s agricultural lands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “field.” Alternate translation: [the fields of] or [the lands of]

Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Saul was actually the father of the father of Mephibosheth. Alternate translation: [Saul your grandfather]
