uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) For who knows what is good for man … he passes like a shadow?

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when who? knows what? good for_a,man in/on/at/with,life few_of days_of life_of futile_of,his and,pass,them like_a,shadow which/who who? tell to_a,anyone what? happen after,him below/instead_of the,sun )

The author uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that no person truly knows what is good for man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “No one knows what is good for man … he passes like a shadow.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

(Occurrence 0) in his life during his futile, numbered days through which he passes like a shadow

This speaks of how life passes quickly by saying that it is like a shadow that quickly disappears. The phrase “numbered days” emphasizes that a person’s life is short. Alternate translation: “during his futile, short life, which he passes through as quickly as a shadow passes by”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Who can tell a man … after he passes?

The author uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that no one knows what will happen after a person dies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “No one can tell a man … after he passes.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) what will come under the sun

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

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

(Occurrence 0) after he passes

This is a polite expression for death. Alternate translation: “after he dies”

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.
