uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי

that/for/because/then/when

For here indicates that what follows is a reason for the commands in the previous verse. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “Do not do those things because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הִפִּ֑ילָה & הֲרֻגֶֽי⁠הָ

laid_low & slain_of,her

In this verse, she and her refer to any adulterous woman, not one specific adulterous wife. If it would be helpful, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “an adulterous woman has caused … to fall … the ones slain by such a woman”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חֲלָלִ֣ים

victims

Here, pierced ones refers to people who have been killed, since people were often killed by being pierced by spears or arrows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “dead ones”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִפִּ֑ילָה

laid_low

Here Solomon uses fall to refer to dying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “she has caused … to die”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הֲרֻגֶֽי⁠הָ

slain_of,her

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the ones whom she has slain”
