UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כָּרְמִ֥⁠י

vineyard,my_own

Here, the phrase My vineyard is a metaphor (see the section on 8:12 in the chapter intro for the meaning of this entire verse). Here, the phrase My vineyard could be: (1) the woman referring to herself as a vineyard, as she did in 1:6. Alternate translation: “I am like a vineyard” or “My body is like a vineyard” (2) the man referring to the woman he loves as if she were his vineyard. Alternate translation: “The woman who I love is like my vineyard” or “The woman who I love is like a vineyard”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠פָנָ֑⁠י

at,disposal,myself

The phrase is before me means “is mine to give.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “is at my disposal” or “is mine to do with as I desire” or “is mine to give to whom I choose”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָ⁠אֶ֤לֶף לְ⁠ךָ֙ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וּ⁠מָאתַ֖יִם לְ⁠נֹטְרִ֥ים אֶת־פִּרְיֽ⁠וֹ

the,thousand to/for=yourself(m) Shəlmoh and=two_hundreds for,tend DOM fruit,its

Here, the word thousand refers to the “thousand pieces of silver” mentioned in the previous verse. The phrase the two hundred refers to the two hundred pieces of silver that Solomon would have paid to the people who are keepers of the vineyards fruit. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “The thousand pieces of silver belong to you, Solomon, and the two hundred pieces of silver belong to the people who you pay to be keepers of the vineyard’s fruit”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

הָ⁠אֶ֤לֶף לְ⁠ךָ֙ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה

the,thousand to/for=yourself(m) Shəlmoh

Here, the woman could be: (1) speaking as if Solomon is present with her even though he is not in order to use him as an example. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate these words in a way that does not make it seem like the woman is speaking directly to Solomon but rather indicates that she is speaking about Solomon. Alternate translation: “The thousand belong to Solomon” (2) calling the man she loves by the name Solomon (even though he was not Solomon) as term of endearment similar to how she called the man she loved “The king” in 1:4. Alternate translation: “The thousand belong to you, the man I love, you who are like king Solomon” or “The thousand belong to you, the man I love, you who I call Solomon”
