Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲלֹ֤א כָתַ֣בְתִּי
?,not written
This phrase indicates that Solomon is using the question form in this verse and the next verse in order to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I have surely written”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
הֲלֹ֤א כָתַ֣בְתִּי
?,not written
Solomon uses the past tense here in order to refer to something that is happening while he is writing these verses, which is the time he calls today in the previous verse. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the present tense. Alternate translation: “Am I not writing”
Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants
שָׁלִישִׁ֑ים
(Some words not found in UHB: ?,not written to/for=yourself(m) thirty in/on/at/with,counsel and,knowledge )
Some ancient manuscripts read, “excellent sayings.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּמ֖וֹעֵצֹ֣ת וָדָֽעַת
in/on/at/with,counsel and,knowledge
Here, counsels and knowledge refer to what the 30 things are. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that are counsels and knowledge”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּמ֖וֹעֵצֹ֣ת וָדָֽעַת
in/on/at/with,counsel and,knowledge
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of counsels and knowledge, you could express the same ideas in other ways. See how you translated knowledge in [1:4](../01/04.md). Alternate translation: “that can counsel you and make you knowledgeable”
22:20 thirty sayings: Early scribes noticed that the Hebrew word for thirty has been written in an unusual form (shlshwm) rather than the usual form (shlyshym). All the early translations of the Old Testament (e.g., Greek Septuagint, Latin Vulgate, Syriac Peshitta) read it as thirty. Nonetheless, some prefer to translate the word as excellent sayings.

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.
