UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מֹאזְנֵ֣י & וְ⁠אֶ֖בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֣ה

balance & and=stone_of accurate

Solomon does not mean that Yahweh actually hates these Scales or has delight in this whole stone. Rather, he means that Yahweh hates people using these Scales and has delight in people using a whole stone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The use of scales of … but the use of a whole stone”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

מֹאזְנֵ֣י מִ֭רְמָה

balance false

Scales describes an instrument for determining the weight of an object or comparing the weight of two objects. It consists of a central post with a crossbar from which two pans are hung. An object may be placed in one pan and known weights placed in the other pan until the crossbar remains level, indicating that both pans contain an equal weight. Or one object may be placed in one pan and a different object in the other pan; the pan that hangs lower contains the heavier object. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of weighing instrument, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “a balancing scale of deceit” or “a weighing instrument of deceit”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מֹאזְנֵ֣י מִ֭רְמָה

balance false

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe Scales that are used for deceit. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “Scales used to deceive people” or “Scales people use to deceive others”
