Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שְׁמַ֣ע בְּ֭נִ⁠י מוּסַ֣ר אָבִ֑י⁠ךָ וְ⁠אַל־תִּ֝טֹּ֗שׁ תּוֹרַ֥ת אִמֶּֽ⁠ךָ

hear son,my instruction I_will_show=you(ms) and,not reject teaching mother's,your

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 other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Hear, my son, the instruction of your father, yes, do not forsake the law of your mother”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שְׁמַ֣ע בְּ֭נִ⁠י מוּסַ֣ר

hear son,my instruction

Hear in the Bible often means “hear and obey.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language. Alternative translation: “Pay attention, my son, to the instruction of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּ֭נִ⁠י

son,my

Although the term son is masculine, Solomon is using the word in a generic sense that could refer to either a male or female child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “my offspring”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מוּסַ֣ר

instruction

See how you translated instruction in 1:2.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

מוּסַ֣ר אָבִ֑י⁠ךָ

instruction I_will_show=you(ms)

Solomon is speaking about himself in the third person. If this would not be natural in your language, you could use the first person form. Alternate translation: “the instruction of me, your father”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וְ⁠אַל־תִּ֝טֹּ֗שׁ

and,not reject

This is a double negative, consisting of the negative particle not and the negative word forsake. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this. Alternate translation: “and heed”

Note 7 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

תּוֹרַ֥ת

teaching

Here, the word law is singular in form, but it refers to several laws as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the rules of”
