UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְ⁠אוֹבֵ֑ד

to,perishing

Here, the perishing one refers to dying people in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “to any perishing person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠יַיִן

and,wine

Lemuel’s mother is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and give wine”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠מָ֣רֵי נָֽפֶשׁ

to,bitter soul

Here, Lemuel’s mother refers to people who feel miserable as if their souls are bitter. Here, soul refers to a person’s inner being or mind, as in 23:7. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to those who are miserable”
