uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

חוֹשֵׂ֣ךְ שִׁ֭בְט⁠וֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑⁠וֹ וְ֝⁠אֹהֲב֗⁠וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥⁠וֹ מוּסָֽר

withholds rod_of,his hates son_of,his and,loves_of,him diligent,him discipline

Here the terms One who withholds, his, one who loves, and him do not refer to specific people, but refer to these types of people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Those who withhold their rods hate their sons, but those who love them diligently seek them with discipline”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

שׂוֹנֵ֣א

hates

Solomon says hates here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “acts unlovingly toward”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְנ֑⁠וֹ וְ֝⁠אֹהֲב֗⁠וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥⁠וֹ

son_of,his and,loves_of,him diligent,him

Although the term son and him are masculine, Solomon is using those words in a generic sense that could refer to either a male or female child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “his child, but one who loves that child diligently seeks that child”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שִֽׁחֲר֥⁠וֹ מוּסָֽר

diligent,him discipline

Here Solomon refers to a parent diligently disciplining that parent’s child as if that parent were diligently seeking that child with discipline. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “diligently disciplines him”
