UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תָּשׁ֗וּבוּ

Turn here implies turning one’s head in order to listen better to what someone is saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Turn your heads and listen”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִנֵּ֤ה

see/lo/see!

Behold is a term meant to focus the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use some emphatic term or expression in your language that would have this same effect. Alternate translation: “Listen carefully”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַבִּ֣יעָה לָ⁠כֶ֣ם רוּחִ֑⁠י אוֹדִ֖יעָה דְבָרַ֣⁠י אֶתְ⁠כֶֽם

pour_out to/for=you_all my=breath/wind/spirit known words,my DOM,you_all

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 connect the phrases with a word that would show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “I shall allow my spirit to gush forth to you, yes, I shall cause you to know my words”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רוּחִ֑⁠י

my=breath/wind/spirit

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

לָ⁠כֶ֣ם & אֶתְ⁠כֶֽם

to/for=you_all & DOM,you_all

In this speech from verse 23 through verse 27, Wisdom addresses foolish people directly as a group. Therefore, use the plural forms of address in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דְבָרַ֣⁠י

words,my

Here, Wisdom uses the term words to describe what she says by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the things that I have to say”
