OET (OET-LV) And_I_saw if/because_that there_is_not good more_than_that he_will_take_pleasure the_humankind in_his_of_work(s) if/because it portion_of_is_his if/because who will_he_bring_him to_see on_whatever (that)_it_will_be after_him.

OET (OET-RV) Then I saw that there is nothing better than that people would enjoy their work,
 ⇔ because that’s their assignment.
 ⇔ Yes, who can see what will happen to them after they die?

uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) there is nothing better for anyone than to

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_saw that/for/because/then/when not good more,than_that enjoy the=humankind in,his_of,work(s) that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his that/for/because/then/when who? will,he_bring_him to=see on,whatever (that)_it,will_be after,him )

See how you translated this phrase in [Ecclesiastes 3:12](../03/12.md).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Who can bring him back to see what happens after him?

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_saw that/for/because/then/when not good more,than_that enjoy the=humankind in,his_of,work(s) that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his that/for/because/then/when who? will,he_bring_him to=see on,whatever (that)_it,will_be after,him )

The author uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that no one will see what happens after he dies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “No one of us knows what happens to us after we die.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:22 happy in their work: Work now stands alone as a source of enjoyment, apart from food and drink (cp. 2:24-25; 3:12-13).
