uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם מָצָ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝⁠אָדָ֗ם יָפִ֥יק תְּבוּנָֽה

happy humankind he/it_found wisdom and=human/ʼĀdām gains understanding

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word other than and that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Happy is a man who finds wisdom, yes, happy is a man who obtains understanding”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אָ֭דָם & וְ֝⁠אָדָ֗ם

humankind & and=human/ʼĀdām

In this verse, a man represents a person in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use expressions that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “is a person … and a person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מָצָ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה

he/it_found wisdom

Here Solomon speaks of attaining wisdom as if it were an object that a person finds. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who attains wisdom”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠אָדָ֗ם יָפִ֥יק תְּבוּנָֽה

and=human/ʼĀdām gains understanding

Solomon is leaving out some of the words 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: “and happy is a man who obtains understanding”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכְמָ֑ה & תְּבוּנָֽה

wisdom & understanding

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

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.
