OET interlinear ECC 5:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כֶּ֨סֶף֙

money

Here, silver represents “wealth in general.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [riches]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠מִֽי אֹהֵ֥ב בֶּ⁠הָמ֖וֹן לֹ֣א תְבוּאָ֑ה

and,whoever loves (in,wealth not income

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and whoever loves increase will not be satisfied with income]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹא יִשְׂבַּ֣ע כָּ֔סֶף

not (Some words not found in UHB: loves money not satisfied money and,whoever loves (in,wealth not income also/yet this Abel )

The expression will not be satisfied 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: [will never have enough silver]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

גַּם זֶ֖ה הָֽבֶל

also/yet this Abel

Here Solomon is speaking as if this situation were vapor. He means that it is fleeting and unsatisfying. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Also this is fleeting and unsatisfying]
