UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

עַד־מָתַ֣י

until when(q)

1:22–33 are one long quotation that Solomon presents as if wisdom itself were speaking. Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “She says, ‘Until when” or “It is as if Wisdom says, ‘Until when”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַד־מָתַ֣י ׀ פְּתָיִם֮ תְּֽאֵהֲב֫וּ פֶ֥תִי וְ⁠לֵצִ֗ים לָ֭צוֹן חָמְד֣וּ לָ⁠הֶ֑ם וּ֝⁠כְסִילִ֗ים יִשְׂנְאוּ־דָֽעַת

until when(q) simple love simple and,scoffers scoffing delight to/for=them and,fools hate knowledge

Wisdom is using the question form to emphasize that these types of people should stop acting the way they do. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “For too long the naive ones have loved naiveté, and mockers have delighted in mockery for themselves, and stupid ones have hated knowledge!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

פֶ֥תִי & לָ֭צוֹן & דָֽעַת

simple & scoffing & knowledge

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of naiveté, mockery, and knowledge, you could express the same ideas in other ways. See how you translated knowledge in 1:4. Alternate translation: “thinking naively … mocking … knowing something”
