uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מֶ֗לֶךְ

king

This verse describes the traits of an ideal, righteous king, not any king in general. See how you translated the same use of king in [16:10](../16/10.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מֶ֗לֶךְ & כִּסֵּא־דִ֑ין מְזָרֶ֖ה בְ⁠עֵינָ֣י⁠ו כָּל־רָֽע

king & throne_of judgement winnows in/on/at/with,eyes_of,his all/each/any/every evil

A king, the throne, one who winnows, and his refers to righteous kings and their thrones, not a specific king or throne. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any good king … the throne of judgment is a king who winnows all evil with his eyes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

כִּסֵּא־דִ֑ין

throne_of judgement

This phrase could refer to: (1) a throne that a king sits on for the purpose of judgment. Alternate translation: “the throne for judgment” (2) a throne that is characterized by “justice,” which is another possible translation for the word judgment. Alternate translation: “the just throne”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

דִ֑ין & רָֽע

judgement & evil

See how you translated the abstract nouns judgment in [16:10](../16/10.md) and evil in [1:16](../01/16.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מְזָרֶ֖ה

winnows

Here Solomon speaks of a king removing evil from his kingdom as if that evil were chaff that a farmer winnows out of the grain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “is one who removes” or “is one who removes like someone winnowing grain”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְ⁠עֵינָ֣י⁠ו

in/on/at/with,eyes_of,his

Here, eyes refers to seeing, and seeing is a metaphor for perceiving something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “according to his perception” or “according to what he perceives”

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.
