uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנַ֖⁠י

to/for=my=face/front

The word heart here represents a person’s feelings. Solomon means that he himself felt happy because of his work. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

חָכְמָתִ֖⁠י עָ֥מְדָה לִּֽ⁠י

wisdom_of,my remained to/for=me

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of portion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I still had my wisdom]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠גָדַ֣לְתִּי וְ⁠הוֹסַ֔פְתִּי מִ⁠כֹּ֛ל שֶׁ⁠הָיָ֥ה לְ⁠פָנַ֖⁠י בִּ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

and,I_became_great and,I_increased from=all [one]_who,he_was to/for=my=face/front in,Jerusalem

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way.

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.
