UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֵב֣וּס בָּ֑ר

manger empty

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a trough that is characterized by cleanness. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “is a clean trough”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

אֵב֣וּס

manger

A trough is a container that holds food for domesticated animals such as cattle. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal food container, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “is a food container of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠רָב

and,abundant

See how you translated the abstract noun abundance in 5:23.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בְּ⁠כֹ֣חַ שֽׁוֹר

in/on/at/with,strength ox

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply this word from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “is produced by the strength of an ox”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠כֹ֣חַ שֽׁוֹר

in/on/at/with,strength ox

Here, strength refers to the work an ox does that involves using strength. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is by the work done by a strong ox”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שֽׁוֹר

Here, the word ox represents oxen in general, not one particular ox. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression, as in the UST.
