Note 1 topic: writing-participants
בֶּן־אִשָּׁה֩ אַלְמָנָ֨ה ה֜וּא מִמַּטֵּ֣ה נַפְתָּלִ֗י וְאָבִ֣יו אִישׁ־צֹרִי֮ חֹרֵ֣שׁ נְחֹשֶׁת֒
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of woman/wife widow he/it from,the_tribe_of Naftālī and,father_of,his (a)_man Tsor/(Tyre) fabricating copper/brass/bronze//coin and,he_was_filled DOM the,wisdom and=DOM the,skill and=DOM the=knowledge for=doing all/each/any/every work with,bronze and,he_came to/towards the=king Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_made DOM all/each/any/every their=property/content )
The author is describing Hiram’s parents as he continues to introduce him as a new participant in the story. Introduce Hiram’s parents in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [He was the son of a certain woman from the tribe of Naphtali. His father, who had passed away, was a certain man who had lived in Tyre and had been a crafter of bronze]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַ֠יִּמָּלֵא אֶת־הַחָכְמָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַתְּבוּנָה֙ וְאֶת־הַדַּ֔עַת
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of woman/wife widow he/it from,the_tribe_of Naftālī and,father_of,his (a)_man Tsor/(Tyre) fabricating copper/brass/bronze//coin and,he_was_filled DOM the,wisdom and=DOM the,skill and=DOM the=knowledge for=doing all/each/any/every work with,bronze and,he_came to/towards the=king Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_made DOM all/each/any/every their=property/content )
The author is speaking as if Hiram had been a container that these qualities filled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he had been given wisdom and understanding and knowledge]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַ֠יִּמָּלֵא אֶת־הַחָכְמָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַתְּבוּנָה֙ וְאֶת־הַדַּ֔עַת
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of woman/wife widow he/it from,the_tribe_of Naftālī and,father_of,his (a)_man Tsor/(Tyre) fabricating copper/brass/bronze//coin and,he_was_filled DOM the,wisdom and=DOM the,skill and=DOM the=knowledge for=doing all/each/any/every work with,bronze and,he_came to/towards the=king Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_made DOM all/each/any/every their=property/content )
The expression was filled is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And God had filled him with wisdom and understanding and knowledge] or [And God had given him wisdom and understanding and knowledge]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וַ֠יִּמָּלֵא אֶת־הַחָכְמָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַתְּבוּנָה֙ וְאֶת־הַדַּ֔עַת
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of woman/wife widow he/it from,the_tribe_of Naftālī and,father_of,his (a)_man Tsor/(Tyre) fabricating copper/brass/bronze//coin and,he_was_filled DOM the,wisdom and=DOM the,skill and=DOM the=knowledge for=doing all/each/any/every work with,bronze and,he_came to/towards the=king Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_made DOM all/each/any/every their=property/content )
The terms wisdom and understanding and knowledge mean similar things. The author is using these three terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [And God had given him very great skill] or [And he had very great skill]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וַיַּ֖עַשׂ אֶת־כָּל־מְלַאכְתּֽוֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of woman/wife widow he/it from,the_tribe_of Naftālī and,father_of,his (a)_man Tsor/(Tyre) fabricating copper/brass/bronze//coin and,he_was_filled DOM the,wisdom and=DOM the,skill and=DOM the=knowledge for=doing all/each/any/every work with,bronze and,he_came to/towards the=king Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_made DOM all/each/any/every their=property/content )
The author is saying all of his work as a generalization for emphasis. He means specifically that Hiram did all of the work that Solomon asked him to do. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [and he did all the work that Solomon asked him to do]

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.
