UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מְכַסֶּ֣ה פְ֭שָׁעָי⁠ו & וּ⁠מוֹדֶ֖ה

conceals transgressions,his & and,confesses

One who covers, his, and one who confesses refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person who covers that person’s own transgressions … but any person who confesses”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מְכַסֶּ֣ה

conceals

Here, Solomon refers to someone concealing his transgressions as if transgressions were objects that someone covers. See how you translated the same use of covers in 10:6.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

פְ֭שָׁעָי⁠ו

transgressions,his

See how you translated the abstract noun transgressions in 10:12.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠מוֹדֶ֖ה וְ⁠עֹזֵ֣ב

and,confesses and,forsakes

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but one who confesses and forsakes his transgressions”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יְרֻחָֽם

obtain_mercy

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The context implies that Yahweh will do the action. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will show mercy to”
