uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כִּ⁠שְׂח֣וֹק לִ֭⁠כְסִיל עֲשׂ֣וֹת זִמָּ֑ה

like,sport to,fool to_make wrong

Solomon is saying that doing a wicked plan is like laughter because a stupid one enjoys it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “For a stupid one, doing a wicked plan is as much fun as laughing”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠חָכְמָ֗ה לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה

and=wisdom to,person_of understanding

Solomon is leaving out some of the words in this clause that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but wisdom is like laughter for a man of understanding”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠חָכְמָ֗ה & תְּבוּנָֽה

and=wisdom & understanding

See how you translated the abstract nouns wisdom and understanding in [1:2](../01/02.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה

to,person_of understanding

Although man is masculine, here it refers to any person with understanding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “for a person of understanding”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה

to,person_of understanding

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a man who is characterized by understanding. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “for an understanding man” or “for a person who has understanding”

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.
