UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מִ⁠דְּרָכָ֣י⁠ו & ס֣וּג לֵ֑ב וּ֝⁠מֵ⁠עָלָ֗י⁠ו אִ֣ישׁ טֽוֹב

of,ways,his & backslider heart and,for,with,his (a)_man good

The turning away of heart, his, and a good man each refer to types of people in general, not to specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person turning away of heart … from that person’s ways, but any good person from that person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ס֣וּג לֵ֑ב

backslider heart

Here Solomon refers to the person who has stopped behaving righteously and is now behaving wickedly as if that person’s heart is turning away from behaving righteously. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The person who stops living righteously”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִ֭שְׂבַּע

get_~_deserve

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will fill”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִ֭שְׂבַּע

get_~_deserve

In this clause, the word translated filled implies that the turning away of heart will fully experience the negative consequences of his ways. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “will experience all the consequences” or “will be fully repaid”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠דְּרָכָ֣י⁠ו

of,ways,his

See how you translated the same use of ways in 3:6.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ֝⁠מֵ⁠עָלָ֗י⁠ו אִ֣ישׁ טֽוֹב

and,for,with,his (a)_man good

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but a good man will be filled from his ways”
