gives to_the,poor & and,turns_a_blind eyes_of,his

One who gives, the one who is poor, one who hides, and his refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person who gives to any person who is poor … but any person who hides that person’s own eyes”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

אֵ֣ין מַחְס֑וֹר

not lack

Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “has plenty”
