Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אָדָם֮
humankind
The word man represents a person in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “is the person”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
לִשְׁקֹ֣ד עַל־דַּ֭לְתֹתַי י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר מְזוּזֹ֥ת פְּתָחָֽי
to,watching on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in doors,my day day to=guard/protect posts doorway,my
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “keeping vigil over my doors day by day, yes, keeping watch over the doorposts of my entrances”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לִשְׁקֹ֣ד עַל־דַּ֭לְתֹתַי י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר מְזוּזֹ֥ת פְּתָחָֽי
to,watching on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in doors,my day day to=guard/protect posts doorway,my
Here Wisdom speaks of someone being eager to listen to her as if that person was vigilantly waiting at the door to her house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “being eager to listen to me” or “being eager to listen to me as if one were keeping vigil over my doors day by day, keeping watch over the doorposts of my entrances”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לִשְׁקֹ֣ד עַל־דַּ֭לְתֹתַי י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר מְזוּזֹ֥ת פְּתָחָֽי
to,watching on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in doors,my day day to=guard/protect posts doorway,my
Here, doors and doorposts of my entrances implies that Wisdom has a house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “keeping vigil over the doors of my house day by day, keeping watch over the doorposts of the entrances of my house”
