OET-LV If/because what is_becoming to_person in_all toil_of_his and_in_the_striving_of his_heart_of_his[fn][fn][fn] which_he was_toiling under the_sun.

2:22 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

2:22 OSHB note: Marks an anomalous form.

2:22 OSHB note: We read one or more vowels in L differently from BHS.

OET (OET-RV) because what does a person get in exchange for all their work and their goals in life that they work towards in this world?

None
uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠בְ⁠רַעְי֖וֹן לִבּ֑⁠ו

and,in,the_striving_of his_heart_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of striving, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and as his heart strives]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠רַעְי֖וֹן לִבּ֑⁠ו

and,in,the_striving_of his_heart_of,his

The word heart here represents a person’s ambitions and desires. Solomon means that a person strives with his inner ambitions. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and in the striving of his inner desires]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

תַּ֥חַת הַ⁠שָּֽׁמֶשׁ

below/instead_of the,sun

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:11.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

כִּ֠י מֶֽה־הֹוֶ֤ה לָֽ⁠אָדָם֙ בְּ⁠כָל־עֲמָל֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְ⁠רַעְי֖וֹן לִבּ֑⁠ו שֶׁ⁠ה֥וּא עָמֵ֖ל תַּ֥חַת הַ⁠שָּֽׁמֶשׁ

that/for/because/then/when what receive to,person in=all toil_of,his and,in,the_striving_of his_heart_of,his which,he labours below/instead_of the,sun

Solomon is using the question form to assert that nothing endures for a person in exchange for all his hard work. 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: [For nothing endures for the person in exchange for all his toil and in the striving of his heart in which he is a toiler under the sun.]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֠י מֶֽה־הֹוֶ֤ה לָֽ⁠אָדָם֙ בְּ⁠כָל־עֲמָל֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְ⁠רַעְי֖וֹן לִבּ֑⁠ו שֶׁ⁠ה֥וּא עָמֵ֖ל תַּ֥חַת הַ⁠שָּֽׁמֶשׁ

that/for/because/then/when what receive to,person in=all toil_of,his and,in,the_striving_of his_heart_of,his which,he labours below/instead_of the,sun

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [After all, what endures for the person in exchange for all his toil and in the striving of his heart in which he is a toiler under the sun?]

OET (OET-RV) because what does a person get in exchange for all their work and their goals in life that they work towards in this world?

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.OET logo mark
