UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

רַ֥ב מְחֽוֹלֵֽל־כֹּ֑ל וְ⁠שֹׂכֵ֥ר כְּ֝סִ֗יל וְ⁠שֹׂכֵ֥ר עֹבְרִֽים

great//chief/captain wounds all and,hires fool and,hires passing

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “One who hires a stupid one and hires those passing by is like an archer who pierces everyone”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מְחֽוֹלֵֽל־כֹּ֑ל

wounds all

Here Solomon implies that the archer shoots arrows at everyone and those arrows pierce them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “who shoots arrows at everyone that pierce them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠שֹׂכֵ֥ר כְּ֝סִ֗יל וְ⁠שֹׂכֵ֥ר עֹבְרִֽים

and,hires fool and,hires passing

The word so here indicates that Solomon is comparing An archer who pierces everyone with one who hires a stupid one and hires those passing by. The point is that both of these are dangerous. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this more explicit. Alternate translation: “so one who hires a stupid one and hires those passing by is dangerous”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ⁠שֹׂכֵ֥ר כְּ֝סִ֗יל

and,hires fool

Here, one who hires and a stupid one refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated a stupid one in 10:18. Alternate translation: “so is any person who hires any stupid person”
