Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְתַעֲנוּגֹ֛ת בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָ֖ם
and,the_delights_of sons_of the=humankind
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and the pleasures of human beings]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
וְתַעֲנוּגֹ֛ת בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָ֖ם
and,the_delights_of sons_of the=humankind
Solomon is speaking of his eyes as if they could ask for things on their own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and whatever human pleasures I desired]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
שִׁדָּ֥ה וְשִׁדּֽוֹת
woman and,breasts
The word heart here represents a person’s desires and emotions. Solomon means that he allowed himself to enjoy every pleasure. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [every pleasure he desired]

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.
