UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֣ישׁ חֵ֭מָה

(a)_man hot-tempered

Although the term man is masculine, Solomon is using the word 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: “A person of heat”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אִ֣ישׁ חֵ֭מָה

(a)_man hot-tempered

A man of heat refers to someone who gets angry easily. Here, heat refers to extreme anger, which causes the angry person’s body to become hot. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar use of heat in 6:34. Alternate translation: “A person who becomes angry easily”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְגָרֶ֣ה

stirs_up

Here Solomon refers to starting a quarrel as if it were something that a person stirs up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “starts” or “causes”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מָד֑וֹן & רִֽיב

strife & contention

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of quarrel and dispute, you could express the same ideas in another way. See how you translated “quarrels” in 6:14. Alternate translation: “quarreling … disputing”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מָד֑וֹן וְ⁠אֶ֥רֶך אַ֝פַּ֗יִם & רִֽיב

strife and,slow anger & contention

Here, quarrel, the long of nostrils, and dispute represent events and a type of person in general, not a specific event or person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “quarrels, but any person long of nostrils … disputes”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אֶ֥רֶך אַ֝פַּ֗יִם

and,slow anger

See how you translated one long of nostrils in 14:29.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַשְׁקִ֥יט רִֽיב

calms contention

Here, Solomon refers to someone causing people who are arguing to become calm and stop arguing as if that person were causing the dispute to become quiet. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will calm disputing people”
