Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אַל־תִּמְנַ֣ע & מוּסָ֑ר

not withhold & discipline

Here, the writer speaks of refusing to discipline a child as if discipline were an object that a parent refuses to give to his child. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not neglect to discipline”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מוּסָ֑ר

discipline

See how you translated the abstract noun discipline in 13:24.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מִ⁠נַּ֣עַר & תַכֶּ֥⁠נּוּ & לֹ֣א יָמֽוּת

from,child & beat,him & not die

Here, a boy, him, and he refer to children in general, not to a specific boy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated the same use of boy and he in 22:6. Alternate translation: “from any child … you strike that child … that child will not die”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תַכֶּ֥⁠נּוּ בַ֝⁠שֵּׁ֗בֶט

beat,him in/on/at/with,rod

This phrase refers to a form of punishment that involved hitting a person with a rod. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a general expression for physical punishment. Alternate translation: “you punish him physically” or “you punish him by hitting him with a rod”
