MSG ^(5-12)Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
  don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
  he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
  Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
  your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
  give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
  your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
  don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
  a father’s delight is behind all this.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

רִ֭פְאוּת תְּהִ֣י לְ⁠שָׁרֶּ֑⁠ךָ וְ֝⁠שִׁקּ֗וּי לְ⁠עַצְמוֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

healing be for,body,your and,refreshment for,bones,your

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “It will be healing for your navel, yes, refreshment for your bones”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

תְּהִ֣י

The pronoun It here refers to following the commands that Solomon stated in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Obeying these commands will be”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ⁠שָׁרֶּ֑⁠ךָ & לְ⁠עַצְמוֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

for,body,your & for,bones,your

Solomon is using parts of a person, the navel and bones, to represent a person’s whole body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for your body … for your whole body”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠שִׁקּ֗וּי לְ⁠עַצְמוֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

and,refreshment for,bones,your

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause 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 it will be refreshment for your bones”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠שִׁקּ֗וּי לְ⁠עַצְמוֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

and,refreshment for,bones,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of refreshment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and will cause your bones to be refreshed”
