UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

נוֹתֵ֣ן לָ֭⁠רָשׁ & וּ⁠מַעְלִ֥ים עֵ֝ינָ֗י⁠ו

gives to_the,poor & and,turns_a_blind eyes,his

One who gives, the one who is poor, one who hides, 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: “Any person who gives to any person who is poor … but any person who hides that person’s own eyes”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

אֵ֣ין מַחְס֑וֹר

not lack

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: “has plenty”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מַחְס֑וֹר & רַב

lack & great//chief/captain

See how you translated the abstract nouns lack in 6:11 and abundance in 5:23.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מַעְלִ֥ים עֵ֝ינָ֗י⁠ו

and,turns_a_blind eyes,his

Here, Solomon implies that this person hides his eyes from seeing the one who is poor mentioned in the previous clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but one who hides his eyes so that he does not see the poor” or “but one who hides his eyes from seeing the poor”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠מַעְלִ֥ים עֵ֝ינָ֗י⁠ו

and,turns_a_blind eyes,his

Here, hides his eyes refers to ignoring the needs of poor people as if one closes his eyes to avoid seeing them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but one who refuses to notice”
