UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

שְׁאֵלָ֤ה אַחַת֙ אָֽנֹכִי֙ שֹׁאֵ֣ל מֵֽ⁠אִתָּ֔⁠ךְ

request one(fs) I asking from,with,you

Here, requesting one request is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “I am making one request of you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אַל־תָּשִׁ֖בִי אֶת־פָּנָ֑⁠י

not you_refuse DOM faces_of,me

Here Adonijah speaks as if Bathsheba might physically turn back his face. He means that she might reject his request and shame him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “do not shame me by rejecting me” or “do not say no to what I request”
