uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מְבַקְשִׁ֣ים פְּנֵי־מוֹשֵׁ֑ל

seek face/surface_of ruler

Here Solomon implies that these people seek the face of a ruler in order to ask him to help them in some way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “are those who seek the face of a ruler to ask for his help”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מְבַקְשִׁ֣ים

seek

Here Solomon speaks of people trying to meet a ruler as if the ruler’s face were an object that people seek to find. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are those who try to meet”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

פְּנֵי

face/surface_of

Here, face refers to being in the presence of the whole person. See how you translated the same use of face in [7:15](../07/15.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מוֹשֵׁ֑ל & אִֽישׁ

ruler & (a)_man

Here, a ruler and a man refer to rulers and other people in general, not a specific ruler or man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “any ruler … any person”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מִשְׁפַּט־אִֽישׁ

justice_of (a)_man

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe justice that is for the benefit of a man. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “is justice for a man” or “is justice on behalf of a man”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִשְׁפַּט

justice_of

See how you translated the abstract noun justice in [1:3](../01/03.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.
