UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יִּרָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד כִּֽי־הָיָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ עִמּ֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠מֵ⁠עִ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל סָֽר

and,afraid Shāʼūl/(Saul) from=to/for=face/front/presence Dāvid that/for/because/then/when it_became YHWH with=him/it and,from_with, Shāʼūl/(Saul) departed

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [And since Yahweh was with David but had turned away from Saul, Saul was afraid from the face of David]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠יִּרָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד

and,afraid Shāʼūl/(Saul) from=to/for=face/front/presence Dāvid

The author is using one part of David, his face, to mean all of him, suggesting that Saul found David personally to be imposing and intimidating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Saul was afraid of David]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הָיָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ עִמּ֔⁠וֹ

it_became YHWH with=him/it

See how you translated this expression in [3:19](../03/19.md). Alternate translation: [Yahweh was helping him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מֵ⁠עִ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל סָֽר

and,from_with, Shāʼūl/(Saul) departed

The author is speaking as if Yahweh had once been physically present with Saul but had walked away from him. He means that Yahweh was no longer helping Saul. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but he was no longer helping Saul]
