UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כְּ֭⁠שׁוֹר אֶל־טָ֣בַח

like,ox to/towards slaughter

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 earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “like an ox that is going to slaughter”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ֭⁠שׁוֹר אֶל־טָ֣בַח יָב֑וֹא

like,ox to/towards slaughter goes

Solomon compares the young man who does not know that he was going to die to an ox that was unknowingly going to be slaughtered. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he unknowingly goes to be killed”

Note 3 topic: translate-tense

יָב֑וֹא

goes

Here Solomon uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense. Alternate translation: “he went”

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

וּ֝⁠כְ⁠עֶ֗כֶס אֶל־מוּסַ֥ר אֱוִֽיל

and,like,noose to/towards instruction (Some words not found in UHB: goes after,her suddenly like,ox to/towards slaughter goes and,like,noose to/towards instruction fool )

The ULT is a translation of the Hebrew text for this clause. However, some ancient translations of this clause read “and like a deer to a trap.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ֝⁠כְ⁠עֶ֗כֶס אֶל־מוּסַ֥ר אֱוִֽיל

and,like,noose to/towards instruction (Some words not found in UHB: goes after,her suddenly like,ox to/towards slaughter goes and,like,noose to/towards instruction fool )

Here Solomon compares the man not being able to escape his death as if he were a fool who could not escape correction because he had a chain around his ankle. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the language plainly. Alternate translation: “and he will inevitably die”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מוּסַ֥ר

instruction

See how you translated the abstract noun correction in 3:11.
