OET interlinear PRO 6:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

נוֹקַ֥שְׁתָּ בְ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִ֑י⁠ךָ נִ֝לְכַּ֗דְתָּ בְּ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽי⁠ךָ

snared in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your caught in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “you are ensnared by the sayings of your mouth, yes, you are caught by the sayings of your mouth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

נוֹקַ֥שְׁתָּ בְ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִ֑י⁠ךָ נִ֝לְכַּ֗דְתָּ בְּ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽי⁠ךָ

snared in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your caught in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your

In both of these clauses, Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply the word from the first clause of the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “if you are ensnared by the sayings of your mouth, if you are caught by the sayings of your mouth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נוֹקַ֥שְׁתָּ בְ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִ֑י⁠ךָ נִ֝לְכַּ֗דְתָּ בְּ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽי⁠ךָ

snared in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your caught in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active forms or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the sayings of your mouth have ensnared you, the sayings of your mouth have caught you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נוֹקַ֥שְׁתָּ בְ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִ֑י⁠ךָ נִ֝לְכַּ֗דְתָּ בְּ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽי⁠ךָ

snared in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your caught in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your

In these clauses, Solomon refers to someone getting into trouble because of what he said as if his sayings were a trap that could ensnare or catch him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if you get into trouble by the sayings of your mouth, if you encounter difficulty by the sayings of your mouth”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִ֑י⁠ךָ & בְּ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽי⁠ךָ

in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your & in/on/at/with,words_of mouth_of,your

Here, mouth represents the words of a promise that the person said with his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by your sayings … by your sayings”
