OET (OET-LV) And_I_commend I DOM (the)_pleasure that there_is_not good for_humankind under the_sun if/because (if) to_eat and_to_drink and_to_rejoice and_he it_will_join_him in_his_of_toil the_days_of his/its_life which he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm under the_sun.

OET (OET-RV) Then I recommended enjoyment
 ⇔ because there’s nothing better for a person in this world than to eat and drink and be cheery,
 ⇔ then that attitude will be with them as they work
 ⇔ during the days of their life that God gives them in this world.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) under the sun

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_commend I DOM (the),pleasure which/who not good for,humankind below/instead_of the,sun that/for/because/then/when if to,eat and,to,drink and,to,rejoice and=he it,will_join_him in,his_of,toil days_of his/its=life which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm below/instead_of the,sun )

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) for all the days of his life that God has given him

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_commend I DOM (the),pleasure which/who not good for,humankind below/instead_of the,sun that/for/because/then/when if to,eat and,to,drink and,to,rejoice and=he it,will_join_him in,his_of,toil days_of his/its=life which/who he/it_gave to=him/it the=ʼElohīm below/instead_of the,sun )

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “for as long as God allows him to live”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:15 The Teacher’s conclusion is familiar (2:24-25; 3:12-13, 22; 5:18-20; 6:9). In spite of tragedies and hard labor, we can enjoy life and be happy.
• In Hebrew, the word translated having fun means finding enjoyment in our daily activities, not pursuing pleasure or entertainment for its own sake.
