uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

נֵ֣ר יְ֭הוָה נִשְׁמַ֣ת אָדָ֑ם חֹ֝פֵ֗שׂ כָּל־חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן

lamp_of YHWH breath_of humankind searching all/each/any/every parts_of inmost_being

Here, a man, the lamp, and the belly refer to these things and people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “The breath of any person is a lamp of Yahweh, searching all the rooms of that person’s belly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נִשְׁמַ֣ת

breath_of

Here, breath refers to the inner spiritual part of a human being, which Yahweh gave to the first man by breathing it into him ([Genesis 2:7](../gen/02/07.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The spirit of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

נֵ֣ר יְ֭הוָה

lamp_of YHWH

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a lamp that is given by Yahweh. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “is the lamp from Yahweh”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נֵ֣ר יְ֭הוָה & חֹ֝פֵ֗שׂ

lamp_of YHWH & searching

Here Solomon speaks of a person’s spirit helping that person understand himself as if it were a lamp that searches within that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “is what Yahweh has given him to discern” or “is like a lamp of Yahweh that searches”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

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.
