UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מֵ⁠הֶ֣בֶל

by,fraud

Here, from emptiness refers to obtaining something easily or without effort. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “obtained easily” or “that someone gains without effort”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ⁠קֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־יָ֣ד

and,gathers on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in labour

Solomon is speaking of people who gather by hand in general, not of one particular person who gathers by hand. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “but any person who gathers by hand”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠קֹבֵ֖ץ עַל־יָ֣ד

and,gathers on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in labour

Here, gathers by hand could refer to: (1) working hard to gather something, as if one were using one’s hands to do the work. Alternate translation: “but one who gathers by laboring” (2) gathering something gradually in small amounts as if one were gathering it in one’s hand. Alternate translation: “but one who gathers gradually”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יַרְבֶּֽה

increase

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply this word from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “will increase wealth”
