UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אַנְשֵׁי־רָ֭ע

men_of evil

Here, Solomon is using the possessive form to describe men who are characterized by evil. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “Evil men”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אַנְשֵׁי

men_of

Although the term men is masculine, Solomon is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “People of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

justice

See how you translated the abstract noun justice in 1:3.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י

and,seek

Here, Solomon refers to trying to know and please Yahweh as if he were an object that people can seek. See how you translated the similar use of “seeks” in 11:27. Alternate translation: “but people who try to please”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כֹֽל

completely

Here, Solomon implies that the people understand everything about justice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “completely understand what is just”
