OET interlinear ECC 2:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

אֵֽין־ט֤וֹב בָּ⁠אָדָם֙

not good for,person

Solomon is emphasizing a positive meaning by using a negative word, nothing, together with a mild expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. He means that the very best thing for a person is to eat, drink, and find enjoyment in work. If it would be helpful in your language, you could emphasize the positive meaning in a strong way. Alternate translation: [The very best thing for humanity is]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠הֶרְאָ֧ה & ט֤וֹב

and,he_will_show & (Some words not found in UHB: not good for,person (cmp)_he,will_eat and,he_will_drink and,he_will_show DOM self_of,his good in,toil_of,his also/yet this seen I that/for/because/then/when [is]_from,the_hand_of the=ʼElohīm she/it )

Solomon is using see good as a common expression of the culture to mean “experience enjoyment.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [experience enjoyment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠יַּ֥ד הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֖ים

[is]_from,the_hand_of the=ʼElohīm

The phrase the hand of God represents his power and provision. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [comes from God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מִ⁠יַּ֥ד הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֖ים

[is]_from,the_hand_of the=ʼElohīm

Solomon is using the possessive form to describe something that comes from God, indicating its source. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [is from God]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

זֹה֙ רָאִ֣יתִי אָ֔נִי

this seen I

Solomon is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as saw already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that he himself personally recognized this truth. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here.
