Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וְ⁠אָבִ֣⁠י רְאֵ֔ה גַּ֗ם רְאֵ֛ה

David is repeating the verb “see” in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [Now look carefully, my father, at]

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

וְ⁠אָבִ֣⁠י רְאֵ֔ה

and,O_of,my_father see

David is referring to Saul by a respectful title. Use a comparable title or expression for addressing someone of high status respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: [And see, O king]

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [This is significant because]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / events

דַּ֤ע וּ⁠רְאֵה֙

David is describing one event before describing another event that would precede it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they would happen. Alternate translation: [See and know]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ⁠יָדִ֜⁠י

David is using one part of himself, his hand, to mean all of himself potentially acting against Saul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is motivating my actions]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠אַתָּ֛ה צֹדֶ֥ה אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֖⁠י לְ⁠קַחְתָּֽ⁠הּ

David is using one part of himself, his life, to mean all of himself in the act of being hunted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but you are hunting me to take my life]
