uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

לְֽקַח־בִּ֭גְד⁠וֹ כִּי־עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר וּ⁠בְעַ֖ד נָכְרִיָּ֣ה חַבְלֵֽ⁠הוּ

take garment_of,his that/for/because/then/when put_up_security stranger and,for (Some words not found in UHB: take garment_of,his that/for/because/then/when put_up_security stranger and,for foreigners hold_~_inpledge,it )

These two phrases 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 with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Take his garment when he has pledged for a stranger, yes, on behalf of a foreign woman hold it in pledge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בִּ֭גְד⁠וֹ כִּי־עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר וּ⁠בְעַ֖ד נָכְרִיָּ֣ה

garment_of,his that/for/because/then/when put_up_security stranger and,for (Some words not found in UHB: take garment_of,his that/for/because/then/when put_up_security stranger and,for foreigners hold_~_inpledge,it )

Here, his, he, a stranger and a foreign woman refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “a person’s garment when that person has pledged for any stranger, and on behalf of any foreign woman”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְֽקַח־בִּ֭גְד⁠וֹ כִּי־עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר

take garment_of,his that/for/because/then/when put_up_security stranger

When someone borrowed money in Solomon’s culture, the lender would take something such as a garment from the borrower as a guarantee of repayment. The lender would return the garment after the money was repaid. If the borrower was too poor, someone else could give something to the lender as a pledge for the poor person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Take a garment as security from the one who guarantees that what a stranger has borrowed will be paid back”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר

put_up_security stranger

See how you translated the same use of “he pledges for a stranger” in [11:15](../11/15.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠בְעַ֖ד נָכְרִיָּ֣ה

and,for (Some words not found in UHB: take garment_of,his that/for/because/then/when put_up_security stranger and,for foreigners hold_~_inpledge,it )

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and when he has pledged on behalf of a foreign woman”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חַבְלֵֽ⁠הוּ

hold_~_inpledge,it

Here, it refers to his garment in the previous clause. Solomon is referring to the practice of holding on to something that someone has given as a pledge to repay someone’s debt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “hold onto his garment as a guarantee of repayment”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
