SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:20–35: Ninth lesson: If you commit adultery, you will be severely punished

This lesson may be summarized as follows: The son should heed his parents’ teaching, because it will keep him from the dangers of adultery (6:20–24). He should strictly avoid being tempted by another man’s wife. An affair with such a woman will have inevitable and disastrous consequences (6:25–33), resulting from the jealous fury of the husband (6:34–35).

Some other headings for this section are:

Warning Against Adultery (NIV)

Avoid adultery

More Advice About Avoiding Adultery (GW)

The terrible consequences of committing adultery

Paragraph 6:20–35

In these notes, this section forms a single paragraph (as in the NRSV). If a long paragraph like this is not natural in your language, you may want to make paragraph breaks as in the section summary above. Some other ways to divide the paragraphs are:

Divide the paragraphs in a way that fits the natural patterns of your language.

6:20

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

20aMy son, keep your father’s commandment,

20band do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

6:20a–b

(combined/reordered)

keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching: See the note on 1:8a. This verse is identical, except that in this verse commandment is used in place of “instruction.” For the word commandment, see the note at 2:1b.

6:20a

My son, keep your father’s commandment,

6:20b

and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אָבִ֑י⁠ךָ

your_father_of,your

See how you translated the same use of your father in [1:8](../01/08.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

נְצֹ֣ר בְּ֭נִ⁠י מִצְוַ֣ת אָבִ֑י⁠ךָ וְ⁠אַל־תִּ֝טֹּ֗שׁ תּוֹרַ֥ת אִמֶּֽ⁠ךָ

keep (Some words not found in UHB: keep my_son_of,my command_of your_father_of,your and,do_not abandon teaching_of your_mother_of,your )

These two clauses mean similar things. Solomon is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the clauses express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Be careful, son, to follow all of the instructions from your father and mother]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נְצֹ֣ר

keep

Here Solomon speaks of a commandment as if it were an object that someone should Guard. He means that he wants his son to remember to do what he has commanded him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated a similar use of guard in [3:21](../03/21.md). Alternate translation: [Remember to practice]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּ֭נִ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: keep my_son_of,my command_of your_father_of,your and,do_not abandon teaching_of your_mother_of,your )

See how you translated the same use of this phrase in [1:8](../01/08.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠אַל־תִּ֝טֹּ֗שׁ תּוֹרַ֥ת אִמֶּֽ⁠ךָ

and,do_not (Some words not found in UHB: keep my_son_of,my command_of your_father_of,your and,do_not abandon teaching_of your_mother_of,your )

See how you translated this clause in [1:8](../01/08.md).
