Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אִ֭ישׁ & רֵעֵ֑הוּ
(a)_man & his/its=neighbour
Although the terms man and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “is a person … that person’s neighbor”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְ֝אָמַ֗ר הֲֽלֹא־מְשַׂחֵ֥ק אָֽנִי
and=saying(ms) ?,not joking I
Here, a man who deceives is using this question to emphasize that he was joking. 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: “and says, ‘Just kidding!’”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וְ֝אָמַ֗ר הֲֽלֹא־מְשַׂחֵ֥ק אָֽנִי
and=saying(ms) ?,not joking I
If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “and say that you were joking”
