5:17 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.18

5:17 OSHB variant note: חי/ו: (x-qere) ’חַיָּ֛י/ו’: lemma_2416 e n_0.0.0 morph_HNcmpc/Sp3ms id_21yrH חַיָּ֛י/ו

5:17 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

5:17 OSHB note: We have abandoned or added a ketib/qere relative to BHS. In doing this we agree with L against BHS.

OET (OET-RV) What’s more, all his life he’ll eat in darkness,
 ⇔ and in a lot of distress, as well as sickness and anger.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כָּל יָמָ֖י⁠ו בַּ⁠חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יֹאכֵ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! which/who seen I good which/who fitting [is]_to,eat and,to,drink and,to,see enjoyment in=all toil_of,his which,someone_will_toil under the,sun few_of days_of his_life_of,his which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the action he eats before the expressions of time and manner all his days in darkness. Alternate translation: [he eats in darkness all his days]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָּל יָמָ֖י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! which/who seen I good which/who fitting [is]_to,eat and,to,drink and,to,see enjoyment in=all toil_of,his which,someone_will_toil under the,sun few_of days_of his_life_of,his which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his )

Solomon says all his days as an extreme statement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [his entire life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בַּ⁠חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יֹאכֵ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! which/who seen I good which/who fitting [is]_to,eat and,to,drink and,to,see enjoyment in=all toil_of,his which,someone_will_toil under the,sun few_of days_of his_life_of,his which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his )

Here Solomon is speaking as if the man’s misery were darkness. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in misery he eats]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠חָלְי֥⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! which/who seen I good which/who fitting [is]_to,eat and,to,drink and,to,see enjoyment in=all toil_of,his which,someone_will_toil under the,sun few_of days_of his_life_of,his which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sickness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and his poor health]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠כָעַ֥ס הַרְבֵּ֖ה

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! which/who seen I good which/who fitting [is]_to,eat and,to,drink and,to,see enjoyment in=all toil_of,his which,someone_will_toil under the,sun few_of days_of his_life_of,his which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when he/it portion_of,[is]_his )

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

5:17 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

5:17 OSHB note: We have abandoned or added a ketib/qere relative to BHS. In doing this we agree with L against BHS.

OET (OET-RV) What’s more, all his life he’ll eat in darkness,
 ⇔ and in a lot of distress, as well as sickness and anger.

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.OET logo mark
