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: [When you vow a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it, because there is no delight in the fools. That which you vow, fulfill]

תִּדֹּ֨ר נֶ֜דֶר
vow (a)_vow
Solomon is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this.

אֵ֥ין חֵ֖פֶץ בַּכְּסִילִ֑ים
not pleasure in,fools
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of delight, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [God does not take pleasure in the fools]

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.
