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.

26:25 Saul returned home, and this may have been David’s last personal encounter with him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
בָּר֤וּךְ אַתָּה֙
blessed you(ms)
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: [May Yahweh bless you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
גַּ֚ם עָשֹׂ֣ה תַעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְגַ֖ם יָכֹ֣ל תּוּכָ֑ל
also/yet to_do accomplish and=also to_triumph prevail
Saul is repeating forms of the verbs “do” and “be able” in order to intensify his expression of the ideas that they convey. 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: [You will certainly do, and you will certainly be able]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְגַ֖ם יָכֹ֣ל תּוּכָ֑ל
and=also to_triumph prevail
By being able, you will be able, Saul could mean: (1) that the verb be able has the same sense as in [17:9](../17/09.md). Alternate translation: [and you will certainly prevail] or [and you will certainly become king instead of me] (2) that Saul is using two verbs together to convey a single idea. Alternate translation: [and you will certainly be able to do many things]
