uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

מֵפִ֣יץ וְ֭⁠חֶרֶב וְ⁠חֵ֣ץ שָׁנ֑וּן אִ֥ישׁ עֹנֶ֥ה בְ֝⁠רֵעֵ֗⁠הוּ עֵ֣ד שָֽׁקֶר

club and,sword and,arrow sharp (a)_man bears in/on/at/with,neighbor_of,his witness_of false

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “A man who answers a testimony of falsehood against his neighbor is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֵפִ֣יץ וְ֭⁠חֶרֶב וְ⁠חֵ֣ץ שָׁנ֑וּן

club and,sword and,arrow sharp

In this verse, Solomon speaks of a man who answers a testimony of falsehood against his neighbor being deadly as if he were A hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “Very deadly” or “Like a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֥ישׁ עֹנֶ֥ה בְ֝⁠רֵעֵ֗⁠הוּ

(a)_man bears in/on/at/with,neighbor_of,his

Although the terms man and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “is a person who answers … against that person’s neighbor”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עֹנֶ֥ה בְ֝⁠רֵעֵ֗⁠הוּ עֵ֣ד שָֽׁקֶר

bears in/on/at/with,neighbor_of,his witness_of false

In the original language, the words translated as answers and against mean “testifies against.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “who testifies against his neighbor with a testimony of falsehood”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

עֵ֣ד שָֽׁקֶר

witness_of false

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a testimony that is characterized by falsehood. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a false testimony”

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.
