UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יֻּגַּ֣ד

and,told

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. Alternate translation: [And someone declared]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

בָ֥א דָוִ֖ד קְעִילָ֑ה

gone Dāvid Qəˊīlāh

In this context, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [David had gone to Keilah]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

נִכַּ֨ר אֹת֤⁠וֹ אֱלֹהִים֙ בְּ⁠יָדִ֔⁠י כִּ֚י נִסְגַּ֣ר לָ⁠ב֔וֹא בְּ⁠עִ֖יר דְּלָתַ֥יִם וּ⁠בְרִֽיחַ

given DOM=him/it ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,hand_of,my that/for/because/then/when shut_~_in by,entering in/on/at/with,town_of gates and,bars

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: [Since he has enclosed himself by entering into a city of doors and a bar, God has delivered him into my hand]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יָדִ֔⁠י

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠עִ֖יר דְּלָתַ֥יִם וּ⁠בְרִֽיחַ

in/on/at/with,town_of gates and,bars

Saul is using the terms doors and bar by association to mean a walled city that had gates that could be closed and locked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [into a walled city whose gates can be locked]
