uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אִ֣ם לַ⁠בִּינָ֣ה תִקְרָ֑א לַ֝⁠תְּבוּנָ֗ה תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלֶֽ⁠ךָ

if for_the,insight call_out for_the,understanding lift voice_of,your

These two phrases mean similar things. The author is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the phrases and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “if for insightful understanding you lift up your voice to call out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

לַ⁠בִּינָ֣ה & לַ֝⁠תְּבוּנָ֗ה

for_the,insight & for_the,understanding

Here Solomon speaks of calling out to receive insight and understanding as if they were people whom someone could summon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to receive insight … to receive understanding”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לַ֝⁠תְּבוּנָ֗ה תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלֶֽ⁠ךָ

for_the,understanding lift voice_of,your

In many languages this sentence would need the word “if” here in order to be complete. You could supply this word from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “if for understanding you lift up your voice”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠בִּינָ֣ה

for_the,insight

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of insight, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “for what should be perceived”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ֝⁠תְּבוּנָ֗ה

for_the,understanding

See how you translated the abstract noun understanding in the previous verse.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלֶֽ⁠ךָ

lift voice_of,your

This phrase is an idiom that refers to speaking loudly. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you speak with a loud voice”

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.
