לֵ֤ב חֲכָמִים֙ בְּבֵ֣ית אֵ֔בֶל וְלֵ֥ב כְּסִילִ֖ים בְּבֵ֥ית שִׂמְחָֽה
heart_of wise in=house_of mourning and_[the],heart_of fools in=house_of pleasure
Solomon uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between where the heart of wise people is and where the heart of fools is. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Although the heart of wise people is in a house of mourning, the heart of fools is in a house of joy]

לֵ֤ב חֲכָמִים֙ בְּבֵ֣ית אֵ֔בֶל
heart_of wise in=house_of mourning
Here Solomon is speaking as if the thoughts and attention of wise people were a heart that could be located in a place of mourning. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Wise people direct their attention toward a house of mourning]

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.
