UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ֭⁠הֵם

and,they

Here, but indicates a strong contrast between the bird mentioned in the previous verse and the sinners who speak in 1:11–14. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate a contrast. You may want to start a new sentence. Alternate translation: “By contrast, they”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֭⁠הֵם & יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ

and,they & lie_in_wait

This phrase finishes the comparison started in the previous verse. Unlike a bird that is smart enough to avoid a net, these sinners destroy themselves by doing sinful things that cause them to be killed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but they are more foolish than birds. They lie in wait”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ֭⁠הֵם לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְ⁠נַפְשֹׁתָֽ⁠ם׃

and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush (Some words not found in UHB: and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush for,lives,their_own )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a word that shows the connection between these two clauses. Alternate translation: “but they lie in wait for their blood; yes, they hide in ambush for their lives”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ֭⁠הֵם & יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ

and,they & ambush

In this verse, the pronoun they refers to the sinners described in 1:10–16. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but those sinners … those sinners hide in ambush”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ֭⁠הֵם לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְ⁠נַפְשֹׁתָֽ⁠ם

and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush for,lives,their_own

In this verse, for introduces the result of these actions. They lie in wait and hide in ambush and the result is that it costs them their bloodand their lives. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate results. Alternate translation: “but they lie in wait, which costs them their blood; they hide in ambush, which costs them their lives”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם

for,blood,their_own

See how you translated blood in 1:11.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

for,lives,their_own

Here, “their own lives” refers to the sinners themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for themselves”
