uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

כָּל־עֲמַ֥ל הָ⁠אָדָ֖ם

all/each/any/every toil_of the=humankind

Solomon is using the possessive form to describe toil that is done by humanity. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [All the toiling that people do]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פִ֑י⁠הוּ

[is]_for,mouth_of,his

Here, his mouth represents “his appetite” or “his basic needs.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [for his appetite]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠נֶּ֖פֶשׁ לֹ֥א תִמָּלֵֽא

the=living_creatures not satisfied

The expression the soul is not filled is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [nothing fills the soul]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַ⁠נֶּ֖פֶשׁ לֹ֥א תִמָּלֵֽא

the=living_creatures not satisfied

Solomon is speaking as if a person’s desire were a container that could be filled. He means that human desire is never fully satisfied. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a person is never satisfied]

Note 5 topic: writing-proverbs

כָּל־עֲמַ֥ל הָ⁠אָדָ֖ם לְ⁠פִ֑י⁠הוּ וְ⁠גַם־הַ⁠נֶּ֖פֶשׁ לֹ֥א תִמָּלֵֽא

all/each/any/every toil_of the=humankind [is]_for,mouth_of,his and=also the=living_creatures not satisfied

Here Solomon uses a proverb in order to illustrate that all human effort is directed toward basic needs, yet deeper desires remain unsatisfied. Translate this proverb in a way that will be recognized as a proverb and be meaningful in your language and culture. Alternate translation: [All human toil is to fill the mouth, yet the soul is never satisfied]

OET (OET-LV) All_of the_toil_of the_humankind is_for_mouth_of_his and_also the_living_creatures not it_will_be_filled.

OET (OET-RV)  ⇔ All of humanity’s work is for their mouth,
 ⇔ but the inner cravings are never fulfilled.

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.
