UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

אֲנִ֣י חוֹמָ֔ה וְ⁠שָׁדַ֖⁠י כַּ⁠מִּגְדָּל֑וֹת אָ֛ז הָיִ֥יתִי בְ⁠עֵינָ֖י⁠ו כְּ⁠מוֹצְאֵ֥ת שָׁלֽוֹם

I wall and,breasts,my like_the,towers then become in/on/at/with,eyes,his as,finds peace

The author does not say who is speaking here so you should not indicate who you think is speaking explicitly in the text of your translation. However, if you are using section headers to indicate who is speaking, as the UST does, you can place a header above 8:10 indicating that the speaker is the woman.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲנִ֣י חוֹמָ֔ה

I wall

Here, the woman continues the metaphor of a wall that her brothers began in the preceding verse. By referring to herself as a wall here, she could: (1) be indicating that she had remained a virgin. Alternate translation: “I was like a wall and remained a virgin” (2) be referring to her chest and be saying that in the past her breasts were not fully formed. Alternate translation: “My chest was previously flat like a wall”

וְ⁠שָׁדַ֖⁠י

and,breasts,my

Alternate translation: “but now my breasts are”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠שָׁדַ֖⁠י כַּ⁠מִּגְדָּל֑וֹת

and,breasts,my like_the,towers

The point of this comparison is that the woman’s breasts are large like towers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the point of this comparison or you could express this meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “and now my breasts are large” or “and now my breasts are fully grown”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אָ֛ז

then

The word translated as then indicates that what follows is a result of what came before it. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: “this is why” or “as a result”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הָיִ֥יתִי בְ⁠עֵינָ֖י⁠ו

become in/on/at/with,eyes,his

Here, the man’s eyes represent his evaluation or estimation. If your readers would not understand this, you could use plain language as modeled by the UST. Alternate translation: “I am in his judgment” or “he thinks of me” or “I was in his opinion”

כְּ⁠מוֹצְאֵ֥ת

as,finds

The word the ULT translates as finds could mean: (1) “finds.” If you choose this option you should translate this word in a similar way to the ULT. (2) “brings.” Alternate translation: “like a person who brings”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָיִ֥יתִי בְ⁠עֵינָ֖י⁠ו כְּ⁠מוֹצְאֵ֥ת שָׁלֽוֹם

become in/on/at/with,eyes,his as,finds peace

Here, the word peace refers to “favor.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “I found favor in his eyes”
