UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בָּ֣ז

despises

Solomon is speaking of people who despise advice in general, not of one particular person who despises. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “Anyone who despises”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ֭⁠דָבָר

for,word

Here, word refers to instructions or advice that people say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “instruction” or “people instructing him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑⁠וֹ

bring_destruction to=him/it

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “must pay for it”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יֵחָ֣בֶל ל֑⁠וֹ

bring_destruction to=him/it

Here Solomon refers to someone experiencing the negative consequences of despising a word as if he were paying money for doing so. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will experience the consequences for doing so”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וִ⁠ירֵ֥א מִ֝צְוָ֗ה ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם

and,respects commandment he/it rewarded

Although the terms he and himself are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “but someone with fear of a command, that one will be rewarded”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ה֣וּא יְשֻׁלָּֽם

he/it rewarded

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will reward that very person”
