OET (OET-LV) Anyone whom he_gives to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_riches and_honour and_not_existing_he is_lacking to_appetite_of_his from_all that he_desires and_not he_gives_him_power the_ʼElohīm to_eat from_him/it if/because a_man foreign he_eats_it this is_futility and_is_an_affliction an_evil it.

OET (OET-RV) God gives wealth and possessions and prestige to someone,
 ⇔  and that person has access to everything they want,
 ⇔  but God doesn’t allow them to enjoy it—
 ⇔  instead a foreigner will get to enjoy it.
 ⇔  That’s totally pointless, and it’s senseless and unfair.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אִ֣ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִתֶּן־ל֣⁠וֹ הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֡ים

(a)_man which/who gives to=him/it the=ʼElohīm

The pronoun him refers back to the person mentioned at the beginning of the sentence. This is a resumptive pronoun that restates the subject. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [A person to whom God gives]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

עֹשֶׁר֩ וּ⁠נְכָסִ֨ים וְ⁠כָב֜וֹד

wealth and,riches and,honor

The phrase wealth and possessions and honor expresses a single idea. The words possessions and honor tell more about the extent of wealth. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [wealth, with all the possessions and honor that come with it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠כָב֜וֹד

and,honor

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [high status]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לֶ⁠אֱכֹ֣ל מִמֶּ֔⁠נּוּ

to,eat from=him/it

Solomon is using to eat from it to represent enjoying all the benefits of wealth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to enjoy it]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

אִ֥ישׁ נָכְרִ֖י יֹֽאכֲלֶ֑⁠נּוּ

(a)_man stranger he,eats_it

The pronoun it refers to the wealth. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [a nonnative person will eat the wealth]

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

Solomon uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between having everything a person desires and not being able to enjoy it. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [A person whom God gives wealth and possessions and honor, so that his soul lacks nothing it desires—even so, God does not allow him to enjoy it; instead, a foreigner will enjoy it—this is vapor, and it is a sickening misfortune.]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֶ֛בֶל

Abel

Solomon is speaking as if this situation were vapor. He means it is fleeting and futile, just as vapor quickly disappears. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [this is fleeting and futile thing]

OET (OET-LV) Anyone whom he_gives to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_riches and_honour and_not_existing_he is_lacking to_appetite_of_his from_all that he_desires and_not he_gives_him_power the_ʼElohīm to_eat from_him/it if/because a_man foreign he_eats_it this is_futility and_is_an_affliction an_evil it.

OET (OET-RV) God gives wealth and possessions and prestige to someone,
 ⇔  and that person has access to everything they want,
 ⇔  but God doesn’t allow them to enjoy it—
 ⇔  instead a foreigner will get to enjoy it.
 ⇔  That’s totally pointless, and it’s senseless and unfair.

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.OET logo mark
