Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לְ⁠מִ֨י א֥וֹי לְ⁠מִ֪י אֲב֡וֹי לְ⁠מִ֤י מדונים ׀ לְ⁠מִ֥י שִׂ֗יחַ לְ֭⁠מִי פְּצָעִ֣ים חִנָּ֑ם לְ֝⁠מִ֗י חַכְלִל֥וּת עֵינָֽיִם

has,who woe has,who sorrow has,who strife has,who bush/shrub_of has,who wounds without_cause has,who redness eyes

The writer uses these questions to prepare the reader for the point he is about to make about “those who linger over wine” in the next verse. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I will tell you what kind of person has woe, sorrow, quarrels, lament, wounds without reason, and dullness of eyes.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠מִ֨י א֥וֹי לְ⁠מִ֪י אֲב֡וֹי לְ⁠מִ֤י מדונים ׀ לְ⁠מִ֥י שִׂ֗יחַ

has,who woe has,who sorrow has,who strife has,who bush/shrub_of

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of woe, sorrow, quarrels, and lament, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “Who is woeful? Who is sorrowful? Who is quarrelsome? Who laments?”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חַכְלִל֥וּת עֵינָֽיִם

redness eyes

The phrase dullness of eyes refers to eyes that look red because a person drank too much alcohol. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “is red eyes, like the color of blood” or “is bloodshot eyes”
