8.14 Fuge, dilecte. Annuens Ecclesia, respondet: Quandiu vis, abesto: differ præsentiam tuam; ego spe longanimi quidquid præceperis, patiar vel faciam. Fuge, dilecte. Non optando loquitur, quis enim oportet eum, quem diligit, fugere? sed memor suæ conditionis, illius voluntati consentit. Fuge, dilecte. Quasi: Tu quidem, qui ex carne comprehensibilis factus es, ex divinitate tua intelligentiam nostri sensus excede, et in teipso nobis incomprehensibilis permane. Hoc clamat Ecclesia Domino spiritu prophetico, postquam mortem et resurrectionem Domini ascensionemque descripsit. Fugere nos dicitur, quando id quod reminisci volumus, non occurrit: quando id quod volumus, memoria non tenemus. Assimilare. Ita fuge, ut creberrime per gratiam compunctionis fidelium cordibus appareas; qui sunt montes aromatum, quia despectis omnibus cupiditatibus, et purgatis vitiis, amore cœlestium tenentur, et virtutum odore fragrant, et bonus odor Christi sunt.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

בְּרַ֣ח ׀ דּוֹדִ֗⁠י וּֽ⁠דְמֵה־לְ⁠ךָ֤ לִ⁠צְבִי֙ א֚וֹ לְ⁠עֹ֣פֶר הָֽ⁠אַיָּלִ֔ים עַ֖ל הָרֵ֥י בְשָׂמִֽים

make_haste beloved,my and,like to/for=yourself(m) to,gazelle or like,young_deer_of the,stags on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in mountains spices

The author does not say who is speaking in this verse 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 this section indicating that the woman is speaking.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּרַ֣ח

make_haste

Here, the word Flee means “come quickly.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Come quickly” or “Hurry”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

דּוֹדִ֗⁠י וּֽ⁠דְמֵה־לְ⁠ךָ֤ לִ⁠צְבִי֙ א֚וֹ לְ⁠עֹ֣פֶר הָֽ⁠אַיָּלִ֔ים

beloved,my and,like to/for=yourself(m) to,gazelle or like,young_deer_of the,stags

See how you translated the similar expression “My beloved is resembling a gazelle or a young stag” in 2:9.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַ֖ל הָרֵ֥י בְשָׂמִֽים

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in mountains spices

The phrase the mountains of spices has a double meaning. The literal meaning refers to mountains where spices grow. The metaphorical meaning is that the woman herself is the mountains where spices grow and she wants the man she loves to come to her and enjoy her body. If it would help your readers, you could indicate the metaphorical meaning in a footnote.

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

בְשָׂמִֽים
