UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠כָל־דְּרָכֶ֥י⁠ךָ & אֹֽרְחֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

in=all ways,your & paths,your

Here Solomon speaks of a person’s actions as if they were ways or paths on which that person walks. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “In all that you do … how you live”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ֝⁠ה֗וּא יְיַשֵּׁ֥ר

and=he make_~_straight

Here, and introduces the result of obeying the commands stated in the previous verse and the beginning of this verse. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate results. You may need to start a new sentence. Alternate translation: “If you do these things, then he himself will straighten” or “This will result in he himself straightening”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ֝⁠ה֗וּא יְיַשֵּׁ֥ר

and=he make_~_straight

For emphasis, Solomon is stating the pronoun himself, whose meaning is already stated as he. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun himself. Alternate translation: “he indeed will straighten”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠ה֗וּא יְיַשֵּׁ֥ר אֹֽרְחֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

and=he make_~_straight paths,your

Here Solomon speaks of Yahweh showing people what they should do as if Yahweh were removing obstacles and smoothing out paths that people walk on. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he himself will make clear to you what you should do” or “and he himself will guide your actions”
