UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַחֲשָׁב֣וֹת בְּ⁠לֶב

plans in/on/at/with,heart

Here Solomon speaks of the plans that a person thinks about as if they were objects located in that person’s heart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2. Alternate translation: “are the plans thought about by”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֑ישׁ

(a)_man

Although man is masculine, here it refers to any person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “a person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וַ⁠עֲצַ֥ת יְ֝הוָ֗ה

and,purpose YHWH

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe the counsel that Yahweh gives. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “but the counsel that Yahweh gives”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠עֲצַ֥ת

and,purpose

See how you translated the abstract noun counsel in the previous verse.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הִ֣יא תָקֽוּם

she/it established

Here Solomon refers to counsel that is successful as if it were a person who could stand. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same phrase in 15:22. Alternate translation: “it will be successful”
