uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּנִ֗⁠י

son_of,my

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַל־תֵּלֵ֣ךְ בְּ⁠דֶ֣רֶךְ אִתָּ֑⁠ם מְנַ֥ע רַ֝גְלְ⁠ךָ֗ מִ⁠נְּתִיבָתָֽ⁠ם

not walk in/on/at/with,way with=them keep foot_of,your from,paths_of,their

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases in a way that would show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “do not walk in the way with them; I am saying, restrain your foot from their path”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אַל־תֵּלֵ֣ךְ בְּ⁠דֶ֣רֶךְ אִתָּ֑⁠ם מְנַ֥ע רַ֝גְלְ⁠ךָ֗ מִ⁠נְּתִיבָתָֽ⁠ם

not walk in/on/at/with,way with=them keep foot_of,your from,paths_of,their

Here Solomon speaks of walking with the sinners as a way to express associating with them, and he uses way and path to refer to the way that the sinners behave. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have nothing to do with those sinners; keep yourself from behaving like them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

רַ֝גְלְ⁠ךָ֗

foot_of,your

Solomon is using one part of a person, the foot, to represent the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “yourself”
