UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וָ⁠אֵ֤רֶא בַ⁠פְּתָאיִ֗ם

and,saw in/on/at/with,simple

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 next clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “And I saw a young man among the naive ones”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בַ⁠בָּנִ֗ים

in/on/at/with,youths

Here, sons refers to young men. It does not specifically refer to Solomon’s sons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “among the young men”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חֲסַר־לֵֽב

lacking sense
