1 SAM 20:9 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חָלִ֣ילָ⁠ה לָּ֑⁠ךְ

never!, from,you

See how you translated the similar expression in [2:30](../02/30.md). Alternate translation: [May such a thing never happen to you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

אִם־יָדֹ֣עַ אֵדַ֗ע

if to_know knew

Jonathan is repeating forms of the verb “know” in order to intensify his expression of the idea it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do so here in your translation. Alternate translation: [certainly if I know]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָלְתָ֨ה הָ⁠רָעָ֜ה מֵ⁠עִ֤ם אָבִ⁠י֙ לָ⁠ב֣וֹא עָלֶ֔י⁠ךָ

decided the,evil from,with father_of,my to,come upon,you

Jonathan is using a common expression of his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my father has determined to make harm come upon you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כָלְתָ֨ה הָ⁠רָעָ֜ה מֵ⁠עִ֤ם אָבִ⁠י֙ לָ⁠ב֣וֹא עָלֶ֔י⁠ךָ

decided the,evil from,with father_of,my to,come upon,you

Jonathan is speaking as if harm were an object that Saul could actually make come upon David. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my father has determined to harm you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠לֹ֥א אֹתָ֖⁠הּ אַגִּ֥יד לָֽ⁠ךְ

and=not DOM=her/it tell to/for=you(fs)

Jonathan 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: [then I will certainly declare it to you!]
