uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַרְבִּ֣ים הָ֑בֶל

increase Abel

Solomon is speaking as if many words were vaporous. He means they are futile and insubstantial. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that are futile and insubstantial]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־יֹּתֵ֖ר לָ⁠אָדָֽם

what? advantage [belongs]_to,person

Solomon is using the question form to emphasize that there is no advantage for humanity in multiplying words. 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: [there is no advantage for humanity.]

OET-LV If/because there_are words/messages many which_increase futility what advantage belongs_to_person.

OET (OET-RV) Yes, many words just become more pointless.
⇔ What advantage is that to anyone?

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.
