Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

in/on/at/with,head noisy cries_out in/on/at/with,entrance gates in/on/at/with,city sayings,her speaks
These two clauses and the two clauses of the previous verse mean basically the same thing. These two clauses emphasize the meaning of the first clause of the previous verse by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word that would show that these clauses are repeating the first one in the previous verse, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Yes, at the head of the tumultuous places she calls out; yes, at the opening of the gates in the city she says her sayings”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּרֹ֥אשׁ
in/on/at/with,head
Here, head refers to the place where busy streets intersect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “At the intersection of streets in”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
תִּ֫קְרָ֥א & אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ תֹאמֵֽר
cries_out & sayings,her speaks
Here Solomon speaks of wisdom as if it were a woman who calls out or says her sayings. He means that Wisdom is available to all people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “wisdom is available … it is available” or “it is as if wisdom calls out … it is as if wisdom says its sayings”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּפִתְחֵ֖י שְׁעָרִ֥ים בָּעִ֗יר
in/on/at/with,entrance gates in/on/at/with,city
Solomon’s readers would have understood that the the opening of the gates in the city was a crowded place where many people gathered. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “at the opening of the gates in the city, where many people gather,”
Note 5 topic: writing-poetry
אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ תֹאמֵֽר
sayings,her speaks
Here, says her sayings is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis.
