כִּמְעַט֙
as,scarcely
Alternate translation: “Scarcely”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י
DOM whom,loves soul,my
See how you translated the similar phrase “you whom my soul loves” in 1:7. Alternate translation: “him whom I love”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
שֶׁ֤הֲבֵיאתִיו֙
when,brought,him
Your language may say “taken” rather than brought in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “I had taken him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
שֶׁ֤הֲבֵיאתִיו֙ אֶל־ בֵּ֣ית אִמִּ֔י וְאֶל־ חֶ֖דֶר הוֹרָתִֽי
when,brought,him to/towards house_of mother's,my and=near/to chamber conceived,me
These two phrases are parallel. The second phrase adds additional information to the first one. This is common in Hebrew poetry and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word such as “then” in order to show that the second phrase is adding additional information. Alternate translation: “I had brought him to the house of my mother and then to the room of the woman who had conceived me”
