that/for/because/then/when

לִוְיַ֤ת חֵ֓ן הֵ֬ם לְרֹאשֶׁ֑ךָ וַ֝עֲנָקִ֗ים לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶֽיךָ
garland graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty they for,head,your and,pendants for,neck,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: “they are a garland of grace for your head, yes, pendants for your neck”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
לִוְיַ֤ת חֵ֓ן הֵ֬ם
garland graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty they
Here, the pronoun they refers to the instruction and teaching of one’s parents, as stated in the previous verse. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the instruction and law from your parents are a garland of grace” or “the things your parents taught you are a garland of grace”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

garland graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty they for,head,your and,pendants for,neck,your
Here Solomon speaks of the rules and instructions that parents teach their children as if they were a garland or pendants. These two items make a person look more attractive to other people and may cause other people to respect that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use similes. Alternate translation: “they make you look more beautiful and respectable” or “they are like a garland of grace for your head and like pendants for your neck”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
לִוְיַ֤ת חֵ֓ן
garland graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty
Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a garland that is characterized by grace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “are a gracious garland”
