UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

פֶּֽן

Here, lest indicates that what follows is the result of doing what Solomon prohibited in the previous verse. See how you translated the same use of lest in 24:18.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שֹׁמֵ֑עַ

hears

Here, one who hears represents a type of person in general, not one particular person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “anyone hears”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠דִבָּתְ⁠ךָ֗

and,ill_repute,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of rumor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and what is rumored about you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

לֹ֣א תָשֽׁוּב

not end

Here, Solomon speaks of the rumor being told to many people to the degree that it ruins the person’s reputation as if the rumor were a person who does not turn back to the person it is about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “does not stop spreading” or “will ruin your reputation”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹ֣א תָשֽׁוּב

not end

Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “will keep going” or “will continue to spread”
