uW Translation Notes:

יִֽהְיוּ

Here, them refers to the “springs” and “channels of water” mentioned in the previous verse, which are euphemisms for sexual activity. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. See how you translated those euphemisms in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “Let your sexual activity be”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לְ⁠ךָ֥ לְ⁠בַדֶּ֑⁠ךָ

to/for=yourself(m) by,yourself_of,

The phrases for you and for you alone mean the same thing. Solomon is using the two phrases together for emphasis. By you he means the man and his wife together. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “only for your marriage alone” or “for you and your wife only”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:1-23 These instructions on embracing one’s wife and avoiding immoral women were originally addressed to young men just beginning their professional careers (see also 2:16-22; 7:1-27). This topic is also popular in ancient Egyptian wisdom writing.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
