uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

דּ֤וֹר הֹלֵךְ֙ וְ⁠ד֣וֹר בָּ֔א וְ⁠הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ לְ⁠עוֹלָ֥ם עֹמָֽדֶת

generation goes and,a_generation he/it_came and=the=earth forever,perpetuity remains

Qoheleth uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between the passing of generations and the permanence of the earth. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Though generations come and go, the earth remains forever]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

דּ֤וֹר הֹלֵךְ֙ וְ⁠ד֣וֹר בָּ֔א

generation goes and,a_generation he/it_came

Qoheleth is referring to the entire cycle of human existence by naming two major components, going and coming. The former refers to death, and the latter refers to birth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [People are constantly being born and dying]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ & עֹמָֽדֶת

and=the=earth & remains

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
