uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שְׁמֹ֣ר רגלי⁠ך

guard רגלי,ך

Solomon is using Keep your feet as a common expression of the culture to mean “behave carefully.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Be careful how you act]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֣ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֔ים

house_of the=ʼElohīm

Solomon is speaking of the temple of God as if it were a house in which he lived. Alternate translation: [the place where God lives]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

שְׁמֹ֣ר רגלי⁠ך כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר תֵּלֵךְ֙ אֶל בֵּ֣ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֔ים וְ⁠קָר֣וֹב לִ⁠שְׁמֹ֔עַ מִ⁠תֵּ֥ת הַ⁠כְּסִילִ֖ים זָ֑בַח כִּֽי אֵינָ֥⁠ם יוֹדְעִ֖ים לַ⁠עֲשׂ֥וֹת רָֽע

guard רגלי,ך just=as go to/towards house_of the=ʼElohīm and,draw_near to,listen more,than_to_give the,fools sacrifice that/for/because/then/when not,they know for=doing evil

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [Keep your feet when you go to the house of God. And drawing near to listen is better than fools giving a sacrifice, because they are not knowing that they do evil]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

אֵינָ֥⁠ם יוֹדְעִ֖ים לַ⁠עֲשׂ֥וֹת רָֽע

not,they know for=doing evil

The pronoun they refers to the fools. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the fools do not know that they do evil]

 ⇔ Going in to listen is better than fools who offer sacrifices,

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.
