uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר אֶ֭בֶן בְּ⁠מַרְגֵּמָ֑ה כֵּן־נוֹתֵ֖ן לִ⁠כְסִ֣יל כָּבֽוֹד

like,binding stone in/on/at/with,sling yes/correct/thus/so giving to,fool honour

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “One who gives honor to a stupid one is like tying a stone in a sling”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר אֶ֭בֶן בְּ⁠מַרְגֵּמָ֑ה

like,binding stone in/on/at/with,sling

The words Like and so in this verse indicate that Solomon is comparing tying a stone in a sling with giving honor to a stupid one. The point is that both of these are useless. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this more explicit. Alternate translation: “Just as tying a stone in a sling is useless”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

כִּ⁠צְר֣וֹר אֶ֭בֶן בְּ⁠מַרְגֵּמָ֑ה

like,binding stone in/on/at/with,sling

A sling is a weapon used to throw a stone at someone. The act of tying a stone in a sling would make that sling useless. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of weapon, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “Like tying an arrow to a bow” or “Like a weapon that cannot hurt anyone”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נוֹתֵ֖ן & כָּבֽוֹד

giving & honour

Here Solomon refers to honoring someone as if honor were an object that someone gives to someone else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is one who honors”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לִ⁠כְסִ֣יל

to,fool

See how you translated a stupid one in [10:18](../10/18.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.
