UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רַ֭בִּים

many

Here Solomon uses the adjective many as a noun to mean “many people.” Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “Many people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

פְנֵֽי־נָדִ֑יב & הָ֝⁠רֵ֗עַ לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ מַתָּֽן

before generous & the,friend of,man gifts

Here, the face, a noble, the friend, and a man of gift refer to faces and types of people in general, not a specific face or person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “the faces of any noble … is any friend of any man of gift”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

פְנֵֽי־נָדִ֑יב

before generous

The phrase face refers to the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the noble person”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נָדִ֑יב

generous

Here, noble refers to someone who has noble character, not nobility. See how you translated the same use of “nobles” in 17:26.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָל

and=all

Solomon says everyone here as an extreme statement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “and almost everyone”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָ֝⁠רֵ֗עַ

the,friend

Here Solomon implies that everyone wants to be the friend of a man of gift. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “want to be the friend”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ מַתָּֽן

of,man gifts

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a man who is characterized by giving gifts. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “of a man who gives gifts”
