UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

נִ֣יר

field

An unplowed field is a field that has not been prepared for growing crops. If your readers would not be familiar with plowing fields for farming, you could use the name of a similar farming practice in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “is in the field that is not prepared for food production”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠יֵ֥שׁ נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה

and,it_is swept_away

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but there is a being swept away of the poor ones’ food”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה בְּ⁠לֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט

swept_away in/on/at/with,not justice

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: “no justice sweeping it away”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נִ֝סְפֶּ֗ה

swept_away

Here, swept away refers to completely removing something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a removal”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

בְּ⁠לֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט

in/on/at/with,not justice

Here, Solomon refers to no justice as if it were a person who causes the food of poor people to be swept away. He means that injustice results in poor people lacking food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “because of injustice” or “because people act unjustly”
