uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ר֣וּחַ צָ֭פוֹן

wind_of north

Here, wind of the north refers to cold wind that came from the north. In Israel, this type of wind often brought rain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “The cold wind that comes from the north”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠פָנִ֥ים נִ֝זְעָמִ֗ים לְשׁ֣וֹן סָֽתֶר

and,looks angry tongue_of backbiting

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. Here, the first phrase is the result of the second phrase. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and a tongue of secrecy brings forth indignant faces” or “and a tongue of secrecy causes indignant faces”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וּ⁠פָנִ֥ים נִ֝זְעָמִ֗ים

and,looks angry

In this verse, Solomon compares The wind of the north bringing rain to a tongue of secrecy bringing indignant faces. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly: Alternate translation: “and similarly, indignant faces”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וּ⁠פָנִ֥ים נִ֝זְעָמִ֗ים

and,looks angry

Here, faces refers to the people who are indignant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and indignant people”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְשׁ֣וֹן סָֽתֶר

tongue_of backbiting

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a tongue that tells the secrets of others. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a tongue that tells the secrets of others”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְשׁ֣וֹן סָֽתֶר

tongue_of backbiting

Here, tongue refers to the whole person who is speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a person who tells secrets”
