uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כַּ⁠עֲב֣וֹר ס֭וּפָה

when,passes tempest

Here, whirlwind could refer to: (1) any destructive event. Alternate translation: “At the occurring of a disaster” or “When a disaster occurs” (2) a storm. Alternate translation: “When a storm occurs”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠אֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע

and,no_more wicked

The word translated then here indicates that the event it introduces took place as a result of the event stated in the previous clause. Use a natural form in your language for introducing an event that is the result of another event. Alternate translation: “it results in there being no more wicked”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֵ֣ין רָשָׁ֑ע

and,no_more wicked

Here Solomon implies that the whirlwind blew away every wicked one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and there is no wicked one because the whirlwind blew them away”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָשָׁ֑ע

wicked

Solomon is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean wicked people in general. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [wicked person]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ֝⁠צַדִּ֗יק

and,righteous

Solomon is speaking of righteous people in general, not of one particular righteous person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “but any righteous person”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְס֣וֹד עוֹלָֽם

foundation_of forever

Here Solomon refers to a righteous one being able to endure disasters as if that person were the foundation of a building that storms do not damage. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “endures to eternity” or “remains forever”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

יְס֣וֹד עוֹלָֽם

foundation_of forever

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a foundation that lasts to eternity. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “is an eternal foundation” or “is a foundation that lasts to eternity”
