uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

שֶׁ⁠יֹּאמַ֥ר

which,anyone_will_say

The pronoun one refers to an unspecified person in general. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [about which people say]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠לְּ⁠פָנֵֽ⁠נוּ

from,before,face_of,us

Here, before our faces represents “before our time.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [before our time]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

יֵ֥שׁ דָּבָ֛ר שֶׁ⁠יֹּאמַ֥ר רְאֵה זֶ֖ה חָדָ֣שׁ ה֑וּא

is_there anything which,anyone_will_say see this new he/it

Qoheleth is using the question form to emphasize that nothing is truly new. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [There is no thing about which one can say, “See this, it is new.”]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

רְאֵה זֶ֖ה חָדָ֣שׁ ה֑וּא

see this new he/it

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [That this is new]
