UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בִּ֭נְ⁠ךָ & הֲ֝מִית֗⁠וֹ

son,your & death,his

Although son and him are masculine, Solomon is using those words in a generic sense that could refer to either a male or female child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “your child … put that child to death”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּי־יֵ֣שׁ תִּקְוָ֑ה

that/for/because/then/when there_is hope

Here, the phrase when there is hope refers to the time when a child is still willing to accept discipline from his parents. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “while he can still be taught”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אֶל־הֲ֝מִית֗⁠וֹ אַל־תִּשָּׂ֥א נַפְשֶֽׁ⁠ךָ

and=near/to death,his not set heart,your

Here, the phrase lift up your soul is an idiom that refers to being determined to do something. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and do not set your heart on putting him to death” or “and do not be determined to put him to death”
