uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠הֲבָלִ֔ים

and,futilities

Here Solomon is speaking as if futile activities were vaporous things. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and futile things]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֣י בְ⁠רֹ֤ב חֲלֹמוֹת֙ וַ⁠הֲבָלִ֔ים וּ⁠דְבָרִ֖ים הַרְבֵּ֑ה כִּ֥י אֶת הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֖ים יְרָֽא

that/for/because/then/when in,abundance_of dreams and,futilities and=words/messages many that/for/because/then/when DOM the=ʼElohīm fear

If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Solomon breaks off the opening clause to give the main instruction. Alternate translation: [Although there are many dreams and vaporous things and many words, just fear God]

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.
