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.

6:28

Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?

Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?: Other ways to translate the phrase without scorching his feet are:

and not blister his feet (NLT)

without burning your feet (GNT)

Use a natural expression in your language to describe what happens to a person’s feet in such a situation. Notice that some versions, such as the BSB, use third person reference (“a man”) in these verses. Other versions, such as the GNT, use second person (“you”). Use whatever is more natural in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

אִם־יְהַלֵּ֣ךְ אִ֭ישׁ עַל־הַ⁠גֶּחָלִ֑ים וְ֝⁠רַגְלָ֗י⁠ו לֹ֣א תִכָּוֶֽינָה

if (Some words not found in UHB: if walk (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (the)_burning,coals and,feet_of,his not scorched )

Solomon is using the question form to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. 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: [Surely if a man walks on coals, then his feet will be scorched!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

אִם־יְהַלֵּ֣ךְ אִ֭ישׁ עַל־הַ⁠גֶּחָלִ֑ים וְ֝⁠רַגְלָ֗י⁠ו לֹ֣א תִכָּוֶֽינָה

if (Some words not found in UHB: if walk (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (the)_burning,coals and,feet_of,his not scorched )

Here Solomon is referring to the negative consequences of committing adultery as if a man were burning himself with coals. Since this comparison is explained in [6:29](../06/29.md), you do not need to explain its meaning further here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אִ֭ישׁ & וְ֝⁠רַגְלָ֗י⁠ו לֹ֣א תִכָּוֶֽינָה

(a)_man & and,feet_of,his not (Some words not found in UHB: if walk (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (the)_burning,coals and,feet_of,his not scorched )

Here, a man and his do not refer to a specific man. They refer to any person who does this thing. If it would be helpful, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [any person … then will that person’s feet not be scorched]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠גֶּחָלִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: if walk (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (the)_burning,coals and,feet_of,his not scorched )

Here, coals refers to small pieces of burning wood that are often used for cooking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [burning wood pieces]
