Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מִבֵּ֥ית הָסוּרִ֖ים
from,the_house_of of,the_prisoners
Solomon is using the house of those who are bound as a common expression of the culture to mean “prison.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from prison]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
הָסוּרִ֖ים
of,the_prisoners
The expression who are bound is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [those whom someone had bound]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
יָצָ֣א
he/it_went_forth
The pronoun he refers to the poor but wise youth from the previous verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the poor but wise youth came forth]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּמַלְכוּת֖וֹ
in,his_own_of,kingdom
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of kingdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in the land he ruled]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נוֹלַ֥ד
born
The expression he was born is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [his mother bore him into poverty]
OET (OET-LV) If/because from_the_house_of the_prisoners he_came_out to_become_king if/because also in_his_own_of_kingdom he_had_been_born poor.
OET (OET-RV) because coming from a family who’d spent time in prison, he made it to become king—yet even in his kingdom he was born poor.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
