uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

מַֽיִם־גְּנוּבִ֥ים יִמְתָּ֑קוּ

water stolen sweet

The stupid woman implies that what she says in this verse is the reason why the “naive” should “turn aside” to her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Turn aside here because stolen waters are sweet”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַֽיִם־גְּנוּבִ֥ים יִמְתָּ֑קוּ וְ⁠לֶ֖חֶם סְתָרִ֣ים יִנְעָֽם

water stolen sweet and,bread_of secret pleasant

In this verse, the foolish woman refers to the pleasure of having sex with someone to whom one is not married as if it were as sweet as stolen waters or as pleasant as bread of secrecies. Water and food are also used as euphemisms for sexual activity in [5:15–19](../05/15.md) and [30:20](../30/20.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile: “Having sex with me is truly enjoyable” or “Having sex with me is as enjoyable as drinking stolen waters or eating bread of secrecies”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠לֶ֖חֶם סְתָרִ֣ים

and,bread_of secret

The phrase bread of secrecies could refer to: (1) bread that a person secretly eats by himself. Alternate translation: “and bread that is eaten in secrecy” (2) bread that one obtains through secret deeds, which implies stealing the bread. Alternate translation: “and bread obtained secretly” or “and stolen bread”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
