אַתָּ֨ה נִשְׁבַּ֜עְתָּ בַּֽיהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙ לַֽאֲמָתֶ֔ךָ
you(ms) swore in/on/at/with,LORD God,your to,servant,your
Here Bathsheba reminds David about how he swore an oath by Yahweh your God that he would make Solomon the next king. Use a natural way in your language to express an oath. Alternate translation: “you yourself swore before Yahweh your God to your female servant” or “you yourself solemnly promised Yahweh your God before your female servant”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
אַתָּ֨ה נִשְׁבַּ֜עְתָּ
you(ms) swore
Bathsheba uses the word yourself to emphasize how significant it was that David had made this promise. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “it was you who swore”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
לַֽאֲמָתֶ֔ךָ
to,servant,your
Here Bathsheba speaks about herself in the third person. This was one way to address someone in a respectful way. If this would not be natural in your language, you could use the first person form. Alternate translation: “to me, your female servant,”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בַּֽיהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙
in/on/at/with,LORD God,your
Here Bathsheba emphasizes that Yahweh is David’s God, but she implies that Yahweh is her God as well. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “by Yahweh, your God and mine”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙ & כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֥ה בְנֵ֖ךְ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרָ֑י וְה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
God,your & that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your become_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “your God that Solomon my son would surely reign after you, and he would sit on your throne.”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֥ה בְנֵ֖ךְ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרָ֑י וְה֖וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your become_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word other than and in order to show that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two clauses. See how you expressed the similar form in 1:13. Alternate translation: “Surely Solomon your son will reign after me; yes, he will sit on my throne” or “Surely Solomon your son will reign from my throne”
Note 7 topic: translate-symaction
יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִֽי
sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my
When a person sits on a throne, it indicates that the person has power and rules as king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what this action means. See how you expressed the idea in 1:13. Alternate translation: “will sit on my throne to rule” or “will sit on my throne as king”
