UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֵ֣ן

See how you translated the same use of Behold in 1:23.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

צַ֭דִּיק & רָשָׁ֥ע וְ⁠חוֹטֵֽא

law-abiding/just & wicked and,sinner

In this verse, a righteous one, a wicked one, and a sinner refer to types of people in general. They do not refer to specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated a righteous one in 9:9 and a wicked one in 9:7. Alternate translation: “any righteous person … any wicked person and any sinner”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בָּ⁠אָ֣רֶץ

on_the=earth

Here, the land refers to the earth in general. It does not refer to the land of Israel, as it does in 2:21–22 and 10:30. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “in the earth”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יְשֻׁלָּ֑ם

repaid

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. The context implies that Yahweh will do the action. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will repay”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְשֻׁלָּ֑ם

repaid

Here Solomon refers to people receiving what they deserve for their actions as if they were being repaid for what they have done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will receive what is due to them”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אַ֝֗ף כִּֽי־רָשָׁ֥ע וְ⁠חוֹטֵֽא

also/though that/for/because/then/when wicked and,sinner

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “how much more will a wicked one and a sinner be repaid”
