UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַל־תֵּ֥רֶא

not look_at

Here, look at implies looking at with pleasure or with the desire to drink the wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Do not look with desire for” or "Do not gaze with desire at"

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

כִּ֪י יִתְאַ֫דָּ֥ם כִּֽי־יִתֵּ֣ן בַּכּ֣וֹס עֵינ֑⁠וֹ יִ֝תְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בְּ⁠מֵישָׁרִֽים

that/for/because/then/when red that/for/because/then/when he/it_gave (Some words not found in UHB: not look_at wine that/for/because/then/when red that/for/because/then/when he/it_gave in/on/at/with,cup sparkles,him goes_down in/on/at/with,smoothnesses )

These three clauses give reasons why someone is tempted to drink wine, in contrast to the command to not look at it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this contrast more explicit. Alternate translation: “despite it being red, giving its eye in the cup, and going with evenness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יִתֵּ֣ן בַּכּ֣וֹס עֵינ֑⁠וֹ

he/it_gave (Some words not found in UHB: not look_at wine that/for/because/then/when red that/for/because/then/when he/it_gave in/on/at/with,cup sparkles,him goes_down in/on/at/with,smoothnesses )

The phrase it gives eye refers to the way wine gleams or reflects light inside a cup. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “it gleams in the cup”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִ֝תְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בְּ⁠מֵישָׁרִֽים

goes_down in/on/at/with,smoothnesses

Here, the writer implies that the wine goes down a person’s throat smoothly when he drinks it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “it flows down one’s through smoothly”
