UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יִּקַּ֨ח שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶת־פַּ֥ךְ הַ⁠שֶּׁ֛מֶן וַ⁠יִּצֹ֥ק עַל־רֹאשׁ֖⁠וֹ

and=he/it_took Shəmū\sup_ʼēl/(Samuel) DOM flask_of the,oil and,poured on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head

Pouring oil on Saul’s head was a symbolic action by which Samuel indicated that God was appointing Saul as king. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head to show that God had chosen him to be king]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

עַל־רֹאשׁ֖⁠וֹ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head

The pronoun his refers to Saul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [on Saul’s head]

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יִּשָּׁקֵ֑⁠הוּ

and,kissed,him

This was a symbolic action that showed Samuel’s respect and loyalty to Saul as the new king. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. If your readers would find it embarrassing if your translation said that one man kissed another man, you could translate the expression in a more general way. Alternate translation: [and Samuel kissed Saul to show his loyalty and respect for him as king] or [and Samuel gave Saul a sign of respect that showed his loyalty to him as king]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠ל֗וֹא כִּֽי־מְשָׁחֲ⁠ךָ֧ יְהוָ֛ה עַל־נַחֲלָת֖⁠וֹ לְ⁠נָגִֽיד

am=not that/for/because/then/when anointed,you YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in inheritance_of,his as,ruler

Samuel is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Know for certain that Yahweh has anointed you as ruler over his inheritance!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נַחֲלָת֖⁠וֹ

inheritance_of,his

Samuel is speaking as if the people of Israel were something that Yahweh had inherited as a lasting possession. He means that the Israelites belong to Yahweh perpetually. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his chosen people]
