UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שֶׁשׁ־הֵ֭נָּה שָׂנֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝⁠שֶׁ֗בַע תועבות נַפְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

six they(f) hates YHWH and,seven abomination soul,his

To make a comprehensive statement, Solomon is using a rhetorical device in which the speaker names a number that should be sufficient to illustrate his point and then increases that number by one for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh absolutely hates these seven things, and they are abominations to his self”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

שֶׁשׁ & וְ֝⁠שֶׁ֗בַע

six & and,seven

Here Solomon is using the adjectives Six and seven as nouns to mean six and seven things. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “Six things … and seven things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תועבות

abomination

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of abominations, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “are abominable to”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נַפְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

soul,his

Here, self refers to Yahweh himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “him”
