UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אָ֭דָם & וּ⁠מַקְשֶׁ֥ה לִ֝בּ֗⁠וֹ

humankind & and,hardens his/its=heart

Here, a man, one who hardens, and his refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “is any person … but any person who hardens that person’s own heart”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מְפַחֵ֣ד תָּמִ֑יד

fears always

Here, in terror continually refers to reverently fearing Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “who is in terror of Yahweh continually”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מַקְשֶׁ֥ה לִ֝בּ֗⁠וֹ

and,hardens his/its=heart

Here, Solomon speaks of a person being stubbornly opposed to Yahweh as if he made his heart hard. The word heart here refers to a person’s mind and will, as in 2:2. If the heart is not the body part your culture uses to refer to a person’s will, consider using whichever organ your culture would use for this image. If a translation is available in your language, see how it translated a similar expression in Exodus 7:3. Alternate translation: “but one who is stubborn against Yahweh”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִפּ֥וֹל בְּ⁠רָעָֽה

fall in/on/at/with,calamity

See how you translated the nearly identical phrase “falls into evil” in 13:17.
