UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַל־יֵ֣שְׂטְ אֶל־דְּרָכֶ֣י⁠הָ לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ אַל־תֵּ֝תַע בִּ⁠נְתִיבוֹתֶֽי⁠הָ

not turn_aside to/towards ways,her heart,your not stray in/on/at/with,paths,her

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 clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; yes, do not wander into her tracks”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אַל־יֵ֣שְׂטְ אֶל־דְּרָכֶ֣י⁠הָ לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ אַל־תֵּ֝תַע בִּ⁠נְתִיבוֹתֶֽי⁠הָ

not turn_aside to/towards ways,her heart,your not stray in/on/at/with,paths,her

Here, Solomon speaks of behaving like an adulterous woman as if one were turning aside to go on her ways or wandering into her tracks. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated ways in 3:6 and tracks in 2:15. Alternate translation: “Do not let your heart want to do the things that the adulterous woman does; do not do anything that she does”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ

heart,your

See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2.
