Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֤י

that/for/because/then/when

For here indicates that what follows is a reason for the commands in the previous verse. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “Obey these instructions because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

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, even pendants for your neck”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

הֵ֬ם

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” or “the things your parents taught you are”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִוְיַ֤ת חֵ֓ן הֵ֬ם לְ⁠רֹאשֶׁ֑⁠ךָ וַ֝⁠עֲנָקִ֗ים לְ⁠גַרְגְּרֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

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”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לִוְיַ֤ת חֵ֓ן

garland graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “a gracious garland” or “an attractive garland”
