UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥⁠י רָ֑ע

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in/on/at/with,hands,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of evil, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I have acted evilly to one who was at peace with me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in/on/at/with,hands,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to my friend” or “to my peaceful neighbor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אֲחַלְּצָ֖⁠ה צוֹרְרִ֣⁠י רֵיקָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in/on/at/with,hands,my )

This could mean: (1) being an unfaithful friend by saving a person who is the author’s and his ally’s enemy. Alternate translation: “or saved my enemy for no reason” (2) not attacking even an enemy without immediate cause (in this case the verb translated rescue could be taken as plunder). Alternate translation: “or plundered my enemy without cause” (3) not only not doing evil to friends, but even doing good to enemies. In this case the phrase would be less logically connected to the previous one. Alternate translation: “. And I even rescue one who is my enemy without reason.”
