UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֣ה

and=see/lo/see!

Here Solomon uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense. Alternate translation: “And behold, there is”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֣ה

and=see/lo/see!

Here, behold is a term meant to focus the attention of the reader on what is about to happen next in the story. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use some emphatic term or expression in your language that would have this same effect. Alternate translation: “And pay attention to this: there was”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לִ⁠קְרָאת֑⁠וֹ

to,meet,him

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “who came out to meet him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠נְצֻ֥רַת לֵֽב

and,wily heart

The phrase guarded of heart is an idiom that refers to hiding one’s intentions or plans from other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use an idiom from your language. Alternate translation: “and she planned to deceive someone” or “and being wily of heart”
