The abstract noun "death" can be stated as "die." And the nominal adjective "the wicked" can be stated as "wicked people." Alternate translation: "It does not make me happy when wicked people die" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])

Here "way" represents how a person behaves. Alternate translation: "if the wicked person stops doing bad things" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that he does not want the people of Israel to die. Alternate translation: "Do not choose to die, house of Israel!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
