UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שִׂמְחָ֣ה לַ֭⁠צַּדִּיק & וּ֝⁠מְחִתָּ֗ה

joy to_the,righteous & and,terror

A joy, the righteous one, and a terror refer to these things and people in general, not to specific things or people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Joy is for righteous ones … but terror”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שִׂמְחָ֣ה & מִשְׁפָּ֑ט & וּ֝⁠מְחִתָּ֗ה & אָֽוֶן

joy & justice & (Some words not found in UHB: joy to_the,righteous to_make justice and,terror to,practice iniquity )

See how you translated the abstract nouns joy in 10:28, justice in 13:23, terror in 10:24, and iniquity in 12:21.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ֝⁠מְחִתָּ֗ה לְ⁠פֹ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן

and,terror to,practice iniquity

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but doing justice is a terror for doers of iniquity”
