Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

הַ֭⁠דֶּלֶת תִּסּ֣וֹב עַל־צִירָ֑⁠הּ

the,door turns on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hinges,its

A hinge is a metal or leather piece attached to a door in order to allow the door to swing back and forth. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of item, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “The door swings back and forth” or “The door swings open and shut”

וְ֝⁠עָצֵ֗ל עַל־מִטָּתֽ⁠וֹ

and,sluggard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in bed,his

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply this word from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and a lazy one turns on his bed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ֝⁠עָצֵ֗ל עַל־מִטָּתֽ⁠וֹ

and,sluggard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in bed,his

See how translated a lazy one and his in 13:4.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ֝⁠עָצֵ֗ל

and,sluggard

Here, and indicates that Solomon is comparing what follows to what he said in the previous clause. Solomon is saying that a lazy one on his bed is like a door that turns on its hinge because both move without going anywhere. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “in the same way a lazy one”
