OET (OET-LV) [fn] also every_of the_humankind whom he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_possessions and_enables_him to_enjoy from_him/it and_to_accept DOM lot_of_his and_to_rejoice in/on/at/with_toil_of_his this is_a_gift_of god it.

5:18 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.19

OET (OET-RV) Listen, this is what I myself have discovered to be good:
 ⇔ It’s good for a person to eat and drink
 ⇔ and to see benefit in all the hard work that they’ll do in this world
 ⇔ during the number of the days of their life that God has given that person,
 ⇔ because that’s their allocation in life.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) Look

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet all/each/any/every the=humankind which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm wealth and,possessions and,enables,him to,enjoy from=him/it and,to,accept DOM lot_of,his and,to,rejoice in/on/at/with,toil_of,his this gift_of ʼElohīm she/it )

The author uses this word here to draw his reader’s attention to what he says next. Alternate translation: “Pay attention” or “Listen”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) what I have seen to be good and suitable

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet all/each/any/every the=humankind which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm wealth and,possessions and,enables,him to,enjoy from=him/it and,to,accept DOM lot_of,his and,to,rejoice in/on/at/with,toil_of,his this gift_of ʼElohīm she/it )

Here the words “good” and “suitable” mean basically the same thing. The second intensifies the meaning of the first. Alternate translation: “what I have seen to be the best thing to do”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) under the sun

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet all/each/any/every the=humankind which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm wealth and,possessions and,enables,him to,enjoy from=him/it and,to,accept DOM lot_of,his and,to,rejoice in/on/at/with,toil_of,his this gift_of ʼElohīm she/it )

This refers to things that are done on earth. See how you translated this in [Ecclesiastes 1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: “on the earth”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) during the days of this life that God has given us

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet all/each/any/every the=humankind which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm wealth and,possessions and,enables,him to,enjoy from=him/it and,to,accept DOM lot_of,his and,to,rejoice in/on/at/with,toil_of,his this gift_of ʼElohīm she/it )

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “as long as God allows us to live”

(Occurrence 0) For this is man’s assignment

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet all/each/any/every the=humankind which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm wealth and,possessions and,enables,him to,enjoy from=him/it and,to,accept DOM lot_of,his and,to,rejoice in/on/at/with,toil_of,his this gift_of ʼElohīm she/it )

This could mean: (1) “For this is man’s reward” or (2) “For these are the things that he allows man to do”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:18-20 The prescription for enjoying life is repeated: We should enjoy our food, drink, and work and appreciate them as gifts from God.

5:18 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.19

OET (OET-RV) Listen, this is what I myself have discovered to be good:
 ⇔ It’s good for a person to eat and drink
 ⇔ and to see benefit in all the hard work that they’ll do in this world
 ⇔ during the number of the days of their life that God has given that person,
 ⇔ because that’s their allocation in life.

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.
