uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠לָ֤⁠מָּה תִשְׁגֶּ֣ה בְנִ֣⁠י בְ⁠זָרָ֑ה וּ֝⁠תְחַבֵּ֗ק חֵ֣ק נָכְרִיָּֽה

and=for=what? intoxicated son_of,my in/on/at/with,adulteress and,embrace bosom_of adulteress

Solomon is using the question form to emphasize that a man should not commit adultery. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “And you should not stagger, my son, with a strange woman, or embrace the bosom of a foreign woman!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠לָ֤⁠מָּה תִשְׁגֶּ֣ה בְנִ֣⁠י בְ⁠זָרָ֑ה וּ֝⁠תְחַבֵּ֗ק חֵ֣ק נָכְרִיָּֽה

and=for=what? intoxicated son_of,my in/on/at/with,adulteress and,embrace bosom_of adulteress

Solomon is leaving out some words in the second clause that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the first clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “And why would you stagger, my son, with a strange woman, or why would you embrace the bosom of a foreign woman”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תִשְׁגֶּ֣ה

intoxicated

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

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְ⁠זָרָ֑ה & נָכְרִיָּֽה

in/on/at/with,adulteress & adulteress

See how you translated strange woman and foreign woman in [2:16](../02/16.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.
