BrLXX Τίς αὕτη ἡ ἀναβαίνουσα ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου, ὡς στελέχη καπνοῦ τεθυμιαμένη σμύρναν καὶ λίβανον ἀπὸ πάντων κονιορτῶν μυρεψοῦ;

3:6-11 According to the three-character dramatic interpretation, Solomon’s humility and generosity show in his attending this wedding of a woman who preferred a common shepherd’s love over his. With Solomon in attendance, this ordinary wedding becomes a magnificent ceremony.
• If the Song is an anthology, this poem describes what appears to be Solomon’s wedding procession. People are amazed by the opulence of his carriage and the power represented by his entourage. All of this reflects on the significance of marriage in the same way that expensive and beautiful wedding dresses and tuxedos do in modern marriages.

מִ֣י זֹ֗את עֹלָה֙ מִן־הַמִּדְבָּ֔ר כְּתִֽימֲר֖וֹת עָשָׁ֑ן מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת מוֹר֙ וּלְבוֹנָ֔ה מִכֹּ֖ל אַבְקַ֥ת רוֹכֵֽל
who? this(f) coming_up from/more_than the,wilderness like,column smoke perfumed myrrh and,frankincense from=all fragrant_powders merchant
Here, the phrase Who is that could: (1) be rhetorical question that is used to create a sense of expectation and interest. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way as modeled by the UST. (2) be a request for information. Alternate translation: “Who is it that I see arising from the wilderness like columns of smoke, fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense from all the powders of the merchant?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
זֹ֗את עֹלָה֙ מִן־הַמִּדְבָּ֔ר
this(f) coming_up from/more_than the,wilderness
The word translated as that here could refer to: (1) Solomon’s “litter,” which is named in the following verse. Alternate translation: “is that group of people that is arising from the wilderness” (2) the woman. Alternate translation: “is this woman that is arising from the wilderness”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֹלָה֙
coming_up
The phrase coming up is used by the author because the group of people described is traveling from the wilderness to Jerusalem. They must travel upward in elevation in order to reach Jerusalem because the wilderness is low in the Jordan valley and Jerusalem is built on hills and is therefore high. Use a word or phrase that expresses moving upward in elevation. Alternate translation: “moving upward” or “arising”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go
עֹלָה֙
coming_up
Your language may say “going” rather than coming in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “going up”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כְּתִֽימֲר֖וֹת עָשָׁ֑ן מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת מוֹר֙ וּלְבוֹנָ֔ה
like,column smoke perfumed myrrh and,frankincense
The word like is introducing a comparison. Here, the phrase a column of smoke is most likely describing a dust cloud created by a group of people traveling in a dry and dusty area. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the basis of comparison. Alternate translation: “creating a dust cloud that resembles a column of smoke, which resembles the fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense”
Note 6 topic: writing-poetry
כְּתִֽימֲר֖וֹת עָשָׁ֑ן מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת מוֹר֙ וּלְבוֹנָ֔ה

Here, the phrase fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense could: (1) be further describing the word arising. Alternate translation: “creating dust clouds that resemble rising columns of smoke. Yes, creating dust clouds that resemble the fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense” (2) describing the phrase column of smoke. Alternate translation: “like a column of smoke, incensed with myrrh and frankincense”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת
perfumed
The author is leaving out a word that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If your readers might misunderstand this, you could supply this word from the context. Alternate translation: “like fragrant smoke of”
מוֹר֙
myrrh
Alternate translation: “the sweet smelling incense made from the resin of a myrrh tree”
Note 8 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
מִכֹּ֖ל אַבְקַ֥ת רוֹכֵֽל
from=all fragrant_powders merchant
The word translated as from all could: (1) be introducing the powders of the merchant as additional information about myrrh and frankincense. Alternate translation: “which are among the powders of the merchant” (2) indicate that the powders of the merchant are being introduced as additional things the merchant sells. Alternate translation: “and other powders of the merchants”
