OET interlinear PROV 4:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

אַֽל־תֵּט־יָמִ֥ין וּ⁠שְׂמֹ֑אול

not (Some words not found in UHB: not swerve right and,left turn_~_away foot_of,your from,evil )

Here Solomon uses right and left to refer to going in any direction other than straight ahead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Do not go in any direction other than straight ahead]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

אַֽל־תֵּט־יָמִ֥ין וּ⁠שְׂמֹ֑אול הָסֵ֖ר רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֣ מֵ⁠רָֽע

not (Some words not found in UHB: not swerve right and,left turn_~_away foot_of,your from,evil )

In this verse, Solomon continues to talk about how a person behaves as though the person is walking on a path. On this path of right living, the person should “gaze to the front” (verse 25), make the track “level” (verse 26), and not veer or turn away from it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Do not stop behaving rightly; make yourself avoid doing evil]
