OET (OET-LV) [fn] is_sweet the_sleep_of the_labourer whether a_little and_if much he_will_eat and_the_plenty of_person not_it is_permitting to_him/it to_sleep.

5:11 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.12

OET (OET-RV) When material goods increase, people’s consumption increases,
 ⇔ and what advantage does the owner get other than just feeding his eyes?

None
uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

כִּ֖י אִם רְא֥וּת עֵינָֽי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: sweet year_of of,the_laborer if little and=if much eats and,the,plenty of,[person] not,it permits to=him/it to,sleep )

If it would appear in your language that Solomon was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword the exception. Alternate translation: [other than the ability to look at it with his eyes]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

רְא֥וּת עֵינָֽי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: sweet year_of of,the_laborer if little and=if much eats and,the,plenty of,[person] not,it permits to=him/it to,sleep )

Here, the sight of his eyes represents “what he can observe.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [what he can observe]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וּ⁠מַה כִּשְׁרוֹן֙ לִ⁠בְעָלֶ֔י⁠הָ כִּ֖י אִם רְא֥וּת עֵינָֽי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: sweet year_of of,the_laborer if little and=if much eats and,the,plenty of,[person] not,it permits to=him/it to,sleep )

Solomon is using the question form to emphasize that there is no real advantage for the owner. 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: [And there is no advantage to its master except the sight of his eyes.]

OET (OET-RV) When material goods increase, people’s consumption increases,
 ⇔ and what advantage does the owner get other than just feeding his eyes?

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.
