uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

מַחֲזִ֥יק בְּ⁠אָזְנֵי־כָ֑לֶב עֹבֵ֥ר מִ֝תְעַבֵּ֗ר עַל־רִ֥יב לֹּֽא־לֽ⁠וֹ

takes in/on/at/with,ears_of dog passing_by meddles on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in quarrel not to=him/it

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “One who infuriates himself over a dispute not for him is one who grabs the ears of a dog passing by”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַחֲזִ֥יק בְּ⁠אָזְנֵי־כָ֑לֶב עֹבֵ֥ר

takes in/on/at/with,ears_of dog passing_by

In this verse, Solomon refers to someone who infuriates himself over a dispute not for him as if that person were One who grabs the ears of a dog passing by. Both clauses are examples of a reckless or foolish act that would only harm the person who does it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “One who foolishly harms himself” or “Like one who grabs the ears of a dog passing by”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַחֲזִ֥יק בְּ⁠אָזְנֵי־כָ֑לֶב עֹבֵ֥ר

takes in/on/at/with,ears_of dog passing_by

Here Solomon implies that grabbing the ears of a dog is a reckless or foolish act because the the dog will react by biting the person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “One who foolishly causes a dog to bite him by grabbing its ears”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

כָ֑לֶב

dog

See how you translated dog in [26:11](../26/11.md).

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

עֹבֵ֥ר מִ֝תְעַבֵּ֗ר

passing_by meddles

The word translated as passing by can also mean “one passing by,” in which case it would refer to one who infuriates and be part of the second clause. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT. Alternate translation (preceded by a comma): “is one passing by who infuriates himself”

לֹּֽא־לֽ⁠וֹ

not to=him/it

Alternate translation: “not about him” or “that he has nothing to do with”
