UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

לֹא־יָב֣וּזוּ

not despise

They here refers to people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “People”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לַ֭⁠גַּנָּב & יִגְנ֑וֹב &נַ֝פְשׁ֗⁠וֹ & יִרְעָֽב

to_the,thief & steals (Some words not found in UHB: not despise to_the,thief that/for/because/then/when steals to,satisfy appetite,his that/for/because/then/when hungry )

Here, the thief, he, and his do not refer to a specific thief, but any person who steals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “thieves … they steal … their appetites … they are hungry”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יִגְנ֑וֹב

steals

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

נַ֝פְשׁ֗⁠וֹ

appetite,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of appetite, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “his desire for food”
