OET interlinear PRO 28:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מַרְבֶּ֣ה ה֭וֹנ⁠וֹ & לְ⁠חוֹנֵ֖ן

increases wealth_of,his & for,kind

One who increases, his, and one who shows favor 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 increases that person’s own wealth … for any person who shows favor”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

בְּ⁠נֶ֣שֶׁךְ וְתַרְבִּ֑ית

in/on/at/with,interest (Some words not found in UHB: increases wealth_of,his in/on/at/with,interest and,in/on/at/with, for,kind poor gathers,it )

The two words interest and usury express a single idea. The word usury indicates that this person is charging an unreasonably large amount of interest to those who borrow money from him. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “by charging extra money to borrow”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִקְבְּצֶֽ⁠נּוּ

gathers,it

Here Solomon implies that the One who increases his wealth unknowingly gathers his wealth for someone else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “unknowingly gathers it”
