OET interlinear PRO 7:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אֱמֹ֣ר לַֽ֭⁠חָכְמָה אֲחֹ֣תִ⁠י אָ֑תְּ וּ֝⁠מֹדָ֗ע לַ⁠בִּינָ֥ה תִקְרָֽא

say to_THE,wisdom sister_of,my you and,intimate_friend to_the,understanding call

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second 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 phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’ yes, call to understanding, ‘Kinsman,’”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

אֱמֹ֣ר לַֽ֭⁠חָכְמָה אֲחֹ֣תִ⁠י אָ֑תְּ וּ֝⁠מֹדָ֗ע לַ⁠בִּינָ֥ה תִקְרָֽא

say to_THE,wisdom sister_of,my you and,intimate_friend to_the,understanding call

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express these two clauses as indirect quotations. Alternate translation: “Say to wisdom than she is your sister, and call to understanding that she is your kinsman”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַֽ֭⁠חָכְמָה & לַ⁠בִּינָ֥ה

to_THE,wisdom & to_the,understanding

See how you translated the abstract nouns wisdom and understanding in [1:2](../01/02.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אֱמֹ֣ר לַֽ֭⁠חָכְמָה אֲחֹ֣תִ⁠י אָ֑תְּ

say to_THE,wisdom sister_of,my you

Here Solomon speaks of wisdom as if it were a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Value wisdom as if it were a woman to whom you would say, ‘You are my sister,’”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וּ֝⁠מֹדָ֗ע לַ⁠בִּינָ֥ה תִקְרָֽא

and,intimate_friend to_the,understanding call

Here Solomon speaks of understanding as if it were a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and value understanding as if it were someone to whom you would call, ‘Kinsman,’”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וּ֝⁠מֹדָ֗ע לַ⁠בִּינָ֥ה תִקְרָֽא

and,intimate_friend to_the,understanding call

Although the term Kinsman is masculine, Solomon is using the word in a generic sense that could refer to any close relative. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “and call to understanding, ‘Family member,’”
