UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כְּ⁠חָכְמָתֶ֑⁠ךָ

according_to,wisdom,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what you consider to be wise”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וְ⁠לֹֽא־תוֹרֵ֧ד שֵׂיבָת֛⁠וֹ בְּ⁠שָׁלֹ֖ם שְׁאֹֽל

and=not go_down gray_head,his in/on/at/with,peace sheol

David is referring to Joab’s death in a polite way by referring to going down to Sheol. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “and you shall not let his gray hair pass away in peace” or “and you shall not let his gray hair experience death in peace”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠לֹֽא־תוֹרֵ֧ד שֵׂיבָת֛⁠וֹ

and=not go_down gray_head,his

Here, gray hair represents an old person who has gray hair. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you shall not let him live till he is old and can go down” or “and you shall not let him live a long time and then go down”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠שָׁלֹ֖ם

in/on/at/with,peace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in a peaceful way” or “nonviolently”
