UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-textvariants

וְֽ֭⁠חֹטְאִ⁠י

and,misses,me

The phrase translated a sinner against me could also be translated as “one who misses me,” which has the idea of failing to “find” wisdom. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְֽ֭⁠חֹטְאִ⁠י

and,misses,me

Here, Wisdom is spoken of as if it were a person whom people could sin against. This phrase refers to people who sin by rejecting wisdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “But someone who sins by rejecting me” or “But someone who sins by rejecting Wisdom”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֹמֵ֣ס & מָֽוֶת

injures & death

See how you translated the abstract nouns violence in 3:31 and death in 2:18.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ

self_of,him

Here, life refers to the person himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “himself”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

אָ֣הֲבוּ מָֽוֶת

love death

This phrase is an exaggeration that emphasizes that people who hate wisdom choose to live in a way that will cause them to die. It does not mean that people who hate wisdom actually love death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “show by their actions that they choose to die” or “act as if they love death”
