uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מְפַנֵּ֣ק & עַבְדּ֑⁠וֹ

pampers & servant_of,his

Here, one and his refer to a type of person in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “If any person pampers that person’s own servant”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠נֹּ֣עַר

Here Solomon implies that youth refers to the youth of the servant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “for that servant’s youth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִ⁠נֹּ֣עַר

See how you translated the abstract noun youth in [2:17](../02/17.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠אַחֲרִית֗⁠וֹ

and,end_of,him

Here, end refers to the result. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. See how you translated the same use of end in [14:12](../14/12.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מָנֽוֹן

bad

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of insolence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “acting insolently”
