OET interlinear PRO 25:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

רִֽ֭יבְ⁠ךָ רִ֣יב

case_of,your argue

Here, Dispute your dispute is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that both come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

רִֽ֭יבְ⁠ךָ רִ֣יב

case_of,your argue

This is an imperative, but it communicates a hypothetical situation. Use a form in your language that communicates this, as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠ס֖וֹד אַחֵ֣ר אַל־תְּגָֽל

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠ס֖וֹד אַחֵ֣ר אַל־תְּגָֽל

and,secret next/another not disclose

Here, another could refer to: (1) someone other than your neighbor, which would indicate telling someone else’s secret to win the dispute against one’s neighbor. Alternate translation: “and the secret of another person” (2) your neighbor. Alternate translation: “and the secret of that neighbor”
