OET interlinear PRO 13:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם מ֣וּסַר אָ֑ב

son wise discipline_of father's

Solomon is leaving out words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “A wise son listens to the instruction of a father”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בֵּ֣ן חָ֭כָם

son wise

See how you translated the same use of son in [1:8](../01/08.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מ֣וּסַר & גְּעָרָֽה

discipline_of & rebuke

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אָ֑ב

father's

Here, father refers to the father of the son mentioned earlier in the clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “his father”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ֝⁠לֵ֗ץ

and,scoffer

Here, a mocker refers to this type of person in general, not a specific mocker. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “but any mocker”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

וְ֝⁠לֵ֗ץ

and,scoffer

Solomon is using the adjective mocking as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [but a mocker]
