soars hawk spread (Some words not found in UHB: ?,by,wisdom,your soars hawk spread wings,its toward,south )
Yahweh is not referring to a specific hawk. He means hawks in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “do hawks soar, do they stretch their wings”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
נֵ֑ץ
hawk
A hawk is a bird of prey, typically with rounded wings and a long tail. If your readers would not be familiar with what a hawk is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar bird that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a bird of prey”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
יִפְרֹ֖שׂ כְּנָפָ֣יו & לְתֵימָֽן
spread (Some words not found in UHB: ?,by,wisdom,your soars hawk spread wings,its toward,south )
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “by your wisdom does it stretch its wings toward the south”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יִפְרֹ֖שׂ כְּנָפָ֣יו & לְתֵימָֽן
spread (Some words not found in UHB: ?,by,wisdom,your soars hawk spread wings,its toward,south )
Yahweh is using the phrase stretch its wings by association to mean flying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “does it fly toward the south”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִפְרֹ֖שׂ כְּנָפָ֣יו לְתֵימָֽן
spread (Some words not found in UHB: ?,by,wisdom,your soars hawk spread wings,its toward,south )
Yahweh is referring implicitly to the way that hawks and other birds in the northern hemisphere migrate south to warmer weather when winter is approaching. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “does it migrate to a warmer climate for the winter”
