UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

טֽוֹב־עַ֭יִן ה֣וּא & נָתַ֖ן מִ⁠לַּחְמ֣⁠וֹ

good eye he/it & he/it_gave from,food,his

The one good of eye, he, and his refer to a type of person in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person good of eye, that person … that person gives from that person’s own bread”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

טֽוֹב־עַ֭יִן

good eye

Here, good of eye refers to seeing what other people need and generously helping them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The generous one” or “The person who is generous to those in need”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ה֣וּא יְבֹרָ֑ךְ

he/it blessed

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. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will bless him”
