uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֹ֣שֶׁק

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of extortion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the extorting of]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָ⁠צֶ֨דֶק֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

The terms justice and equity mean similar things. Solomon is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [fair treatment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וָ⁠צֶ֨דֶק֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of equity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and what is fair]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

גָבֹ֜הַּ מֵ⁠עַ֤ל גָּבֹ֨הַ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

Here Solomon is speaking as if authority were height, calling officials a high one. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a superior official over a superior official]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אִם עֹ֣שֶׁק רָ֠שׁ וְ⁠גֵ֨זֶל מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָ⁠צֶ֨דֶק֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ה בַ⁠מְּדִינָ֔ה אַל תִּתְמַ֖הּ עַל הַ⁠חֵ֑פֶץ כִּ֣י גָבֹ֜הַּ מֵ⁠עַ֤ל גָּבֹ֨הַ֙ שֹׁמֵ֔ר וּ⁠גְבֹהִ֖ים עֲלֵי⁠הֶֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [If the extortion of the poor and the robbery of justice and equity you see in the province, do not be amazed concerning the matter, because a high one over a high one is watching, and high ones are over them]

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

אִם עֹ֣שֶׁק רָ֠שׁ וְ⁠גֵ֨זֶל מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָ⁠צֶ֨דֶק֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ה בַ⁠מְּדִינָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

Solomon is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, or if your readers might think that what Solomon is saying is uncertain, then you could translate this as a confident statement. Alternate translation: [When you see the extortion of the poor and the robbery of justice and equity in the province]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

עֹ֣שֶׁק רָ֠שׁ וְ⁠גֵ֨זֶל מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָ⁠צֶ֨דֶק֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ה בַ⁠מְּדִינָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of the clauses so that the verb and its location come before the objects. Alternate translation: [you see in the province the extortion of the poor and the robbery of justice and equity]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠גֵ֨זֶל

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],profit_of earth/land [is]_in,everything himself king to,a_field profits )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of robbery, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and the robbing of]
