UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

גֹּ֣ל אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂ֑י⁠ךָ

commit to/towards YHWH work,your

Here Solomon refers to people depending on Yahweh for the outcome of their works as if those works were objects that one could Roll to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Depend on Yahweh for the outcome of your works”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מַעֲשֶׂ֑י⁠ךָ & מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

work,your & plans,your

See how you translated the abstract nouns works in 8:22 and plans in 1:31.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠יִכֹּ֗נוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

and,established plans,your

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 Yahweh will establish your plans”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠יִכֹּ֗נוּ

and,established

Here, Solomon uses established to refer to something being achieved or successful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and … will be successful”
