uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נַעֲשָׂ֖ה

done

The expression is being done is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that people are doing under the sun]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠טוֹב֙

and=good

Solomon uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the unborn and those who are already dead or alive. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [However, better than both of them is the one who has not yet lived, who has not seen the evil deed that is being done under the sun.]

OET (OET-LV) And_good more_than_of_both_of_them DOM one_who still not he_has_been one_who not he_has_seen DOM the_activity (the)_evil which it_is_done under the_sun.

OET (OET-RV) But better than both of them, is the one who hasn’t yet lived—
 ⇔  who hasn’t seen the evil things that are being done in this world.

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.
