uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

שׁ֣וֹט לַ֭⁠סּוּס מֶ֣תֶג לַ⁠חֲמ֑וֹר וְ֝⁠שֵׁ֗בֶט לְ⁠גֵ֣ו כְּסִילִֽים

whip for_the,horse bridle for_THE,donkey and,rod for,back_of fools

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “A whip is for the horse, a bridle is for the donkey, and a rod is for the back of stupid ones”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שׁ֣וֹט לַ֭⁠סּוּס מֶ֣תֶג לַ⁠חֲמ֑וֹר וְ֝⁠שֵׁ֗בֶט לְ⁠גֵ֣ו כְּסִילִֽים

whip for_the,horse bridle for_THE,donkey and,rod for,back_of fools

A whip, the horse, a bridle, the donkey, a rod, and the back refer to these things and animals in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Whips are for horses, bridles are for donkeys, and rods are for backs of stupid ones”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ֝⁠שֵׁ֗בֶט

and,rod

Here, and indicates that Solomon is comparing what follows to what he said in the previous clause. Solomon is saying that people must hit stupid ones with a rod in order to control them, just like they must use a whip to control horses and a bridle to control donkeys. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “in the same way a rod”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ֝⁠שֵׁ֗בֶט לְ⁠גֵ֣ו

and,rod for,back_of

See how you translated the same use of rod for the back in [10:13](../10/13.md).

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.
