UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כִּ֡י

that/for/because/then/when

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I declare that” or “I swear that”

Note 2 topic: writing-oathformula

נִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי לָ֜⁠ךְ בַּ⁠יהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙

swore to/for=you(fs) in/on/at/with,LORD god Yisrael

Here David refers to how he swore an oath by Yahweh the God of Israel that he would make Solomon the next king. Use a natural way in your language to express an oath. Alternate translation: “I have sworn before Yahweh the God of Israel to you” or “I have solemnly promised Yahweh the God of Israel in your presence”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר כִּֽי־שְׁלֹמֹ֤ה בְנֵ⁠ךְ֙ יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔⁠י וְ⁠ה֛וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖⁠י תַּחְתָּ֑⁠י כִּ֛י

to=say that/for/because/then/when Shəlomoh son,your be_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my in_~_place,my that/for/because/then/when

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “saying that Solomon your son would surely reign after me and that he would sit on my throne in place, surely”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר

to=say

If you preserve the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “which I did when I said”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

יִמְלֹ֣ךְ אַחֲרַ֔⁠י וְ⁠ה֛וּא יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖⁠י תַּחְתָּ֑⁠י

be_king after,me and=he sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my in_~_place,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: “will reign after me; yes, he will sit on my throne in my place” or “will reign from my throne in my place”

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction

יֵשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסְאִ֖⁠י תַּחְתָּ֑⁠י

sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne,my in_~_place,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 in my place” or “will sit on my throne as king in my place”
