UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִ⁠פְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע בִּטְנ֑⁠וֹ תְּבוּאַ֖ת שְׂפָתָ֣י⁠ו יִשְׂבָּֽע

from_the=fruit mouth (a)_man satisfied stomach,his yield lips,his satisfied

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “From the fruit of the mouth of a man his belly is satisfied; yes, with the produce of his lips, he is satisfied”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מִ⁠פְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע בִּטְנ֑⁠וֹ

from_the=fruit mouth (a)_man satisfied stomach,his

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: “The fruit of the mouth of a man satisfies his belly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠פְּרִ֣י פִי־אִ֭ישׁ

תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע בִּטְנ֑⁠וֹ

Here Solomon speaks of a person eating enough food to feel satisfied as if that person’s belly were a person who could be satisfied. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will eat enough to feel satisfied”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תְּבוּאַ֖ת שְׂפָתָ֣י⁠ו יִשְׂבָּֽע

yield lips,his satisfied

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: “the produce of his lips satisfies him”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תְּבוּאַ֖ת שְׂפָתָ֣י⁠ו

yield lips,his

Here Solomon refers to what a person says as if it were produce from that person’s lips. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “with what he says”
