despises to,neighbor,his sins and,kind_to poor happy,he

One who sins, his neighbor, one who shows favor, and he 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 who sins despises that person’s neighbors, but any person who shows favor to afflicted ones, happy is that person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מְחוֹנֵ֖ן

and,kind_to

Here, shows favor refers to being kind to someone, not to favoring one person over another. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but the one who is compassionate to”
