UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

פְּֽרִי־צַ֭דִּיק

fruit(sg) law-abiding/just

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe fruit that is produced by the righteous one. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “The fruit produced by the righteous one”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

פְּֽרִי

fruit(sg)

Here Solomon refers to what righteous people do as if it were fruit that they produced. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The deeds of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

צַ֭דִּיק & וְ⁠לֹקֵ֖חַ נְפָשׂ֣וֹת

law-abiding/just & and,wins souls

In this verse, the righteous one and the taker of souls refer to types of people in general. They do not refer to specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated the righteous one in 10:3. Alternate translation: “any righteous person … and any person who takes souls”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים

tree/word life(pl)

See how you translated this phrase in 3:18.

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

וְ⁠לֹקֵ֖חַ נְפָשׂ֣וֹת חָכָֽם

and,wins souls wise

Some ancient translations translate this clause as “and the one who takes away lives is violent.” That would be indicating that this clause refers to violent people who kill others, which is in contrast with the type of person described in the previous clause. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לֹקֵ֖חַ נְפָשׂ֣וֹת

and,wins souls

Here, taker of souls refers to someone who influences other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the one who influences others”
