UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

סִיגִ֣ים

dross

The word dross refers to material in metal that people do not want so the refiner removes it by melting the metal and taking the dross out of the melted metal. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of process, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the unwanted material”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וַ⁠יֵּצֵ֖א & כֶּֽלִי

and=he/it_went_out & vessel

The word translated and at the beginning of this clause indicates that the event in the previous clause happens before the event in the second clause can happen. Use a natural form in your language for introducing the next event in a story. Alternate translation: “before a vessel comes out” or “then a vessel can come out”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יֵּצֵ֖א לַ⁠צֹּרֵ֣ף כֶּֽלִי

and=he/it_went_out for_the,smith vessel

Here, Solomon refers to the refiner making a vessel from the silver mentioned in the previous clause as if that vessel comes out from the silver. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and a vessel is made by the refiner”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

לַ⁠צֹּרֵ֣ף

for_the,smith

Here, the refiner refers to someone who removes unwanted material from metal by melting the metal and taking the dross out of the melted metal. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of person, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the person who removes unwanted material from metal”
