uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יִּתְרוֹן֙

gain_of

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of profit, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [gain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־יִּתְרוֹן֙ הָֽ⁠עוֹשֶׂ֔ה בַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר ה֥וּא עָמֵֽל

what? gain_of of,the_[one_who]_works in_[that],which he/it toil

Solomon is using the question form to emphasize that there is no profit for the worker. 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: [There is no profit for the one who does in exchange for that which he is toiling.]

OET (OET-RV) What do people gain from all the work they do?

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.
