SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:20–27: Seventh Lesson: Concentrate on following a righteous lifestyle

This section begins with the typical introduction (4:20–22). The father/teacher then exhorts his son/student to follow a righteous life. He mentions different parts of the body (ear, heart, mouth, eyes, feet) to emphasize that doing what is right involves the whole person (4:23–27).

Another possible heading for this section is:

Always doing what is right

4:27

Notice the parallelism. The parallel command in the second line explains the meaning of not swerving in the first line.

27aDo not swerve to the right or to the left;

27bturn your feet away from evil.

4:27a–b

(combined/reordered)

Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil: To swerve is to stray from the right path by doing evil. In some languages, it may be more natural to reorder the lines: For example:

Avoid evil and walk straight ahead. Don’t go one step off the right way. (GNT)

4:27a

Do not swerve to the right or to the left;

4:27b

turn your feet away from evil.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

אַֽל־תֵּט־יָמִ֥ין וּ⁠שְׂמֹ֑אול

not swerve right and,left

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 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”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֣

foot_of,your

See how you translated the same use of foot in the previous verse.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מֵ⁠רָֽע

from,evil

See how you translated from evil in [3:7](../03/07.md).
