UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

לְ֭⁠אָבִי⁠ו בֵּ֣ן כְּסִ֑יל

to,father,his son foolish

Although son and his are masculine, Solomon is using those words in a generic sense that could refer to either a male or female child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “A stupid child … to that child’s father”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַוֺּ֣ת לְ֭⁠אָבִי⁠ו

ruin to,father,his

Here Solomon refers to a stupid son ruining the life of his father as if he were his father’s destruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “ruins his father”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠דֶ֥לֶף טֹ֝רֵ֗ד מִדְיְנֵ֥י אִשָּֽׁה

and,dripping constant quarrelling woman/wife

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: “and a continual dripping are the quarrels of a wife”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠דֶ֥לֶף טֹ֝רֵ֗ד

and,dripping constant

Here Solomon speaks of the quarrels of a wife being annoying as if they were continually dripping water. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “and bothersome” or “and as annoying as a continual dripping of water”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִדְיְנֵ֥י

quarrelling

See how you translated the abstract noun quarrels in 6:14.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מִדְיְנֵ֥י אִשָּֽׁה

quarrelling woman/wife

Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a wife who is characterized by quarrels. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Here, quarrels of a wife could refer to: (1) quarrels between a wife and her husband. Alternate translation: “the quarrels of a wife with her husband” (2) quarrels between a wife and other people in general. Alternate translation: “the quarrels of a wife with other people”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
