uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הִ֭נָּצֵל כִּ⁠צְבִ֣י מִ⁠יָּ֑ד וּ֝⁠כְ⁠צִפּ֗וֹר מִ⁠יַּ֥ד יָקֽוּשׁ

save like,gazelle from,hand and,like,bird from,hand_of fowler

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Rescue yourself like a gazelle would rescue itself from a hand, and rescue yourself like a bird would rescue itself from the hand of the trapper”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

הִ֭נָּצֵל כִּ⁠צְבִ֣י מִ⁠יָּ֑ד וּ֝⁠כְ⁠צִפּ֗וֹר מִ⁠יַּ֥ד יָקֽוּשׁ

save like,gazelle from,hand and,like,bird from,hand_of fowler

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 other than and that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Rescue yourself like a gazelle from a hand, yes, rescue yourself like a bird from the hand of the trapper”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כִּ⁠צְבִ֣י & וּ֝⁠כְ⁠צִפּ֗וֹר

like,gazelle & and,like,bird

Solomon is saying that the person should act like a gazelle and a bird because both of those animals are quick enough to escape from hunters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “quickly, like a gazelle … and quickly, like a bird”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

כִּ⁠צְבִ֣י

like,gazelle

A gazelle is a land animal that is known for running quickly and gracefully. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “like an animal that runs swiftly”
