UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

חַי־יְהוָה֙

he/it_lived YHWH

Here Solomon makes an oath that he will do what he promises at the end of this verse. He is indicating that people can rely on his promise as much as they can rely on the fact that Yahweh is alive. Use a natural way in your language to express this kind of oath. Alternate translation: “as certainly as Yahweh is alive” or “you can be as confident about this as you are that Yahweh is alive”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

וַיּֽוֹשִׁיבַ֙נִי֙ עַל־כִּסֵּא֙ דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֔⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now he/it_lived YHWH which/who established,me and,seated,me on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne Dāvid father,my and=which he/it_had_made to=me house just=as promised that/for/because/then/when the=day put_to_death ʼAdoniy^yāh )

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: “and caused me to sit on the throne to rule after David my father” or “and caused me to sit on the throne of David my father as king”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עָֽשָׂה־לִ֛⁠י בַּ֖יִת

he/it_had_made to=me house

Here, house represents represents Solomon’s descendants, who will reign as kings after him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “has made for me a dynasty” or “has caused my offspring to be kings after me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

Solomon 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 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יוּמַ֖ת אֲדֹנִיָּֽהוּ

put_to_death ʼAdoniy\sup_yāh

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that Solomon would command his servants or soldiers to do it. Alternate translation: “I will tell my soldiers to kill Adonijah”
