 ⇔ by the female gazelles or the does in the countryside,
 ⇔ don’t awaken or stir love until it’s the right time.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

הִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי אֶתְ⁠כֶ֜ם בְּנ֤וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙

adjure DOM,you_all daughters_of Yerushalayim

Here the woman is speaking to the daughters of Jerusalem, but most likely they are not present. The woman is doing this as a poetic way of giving voice to her strong feelings. Because the author does this intentionally for poetic effect, it is suggested that you do the same. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this in a footnote.

Note 2 topic: writing-oathformula

הִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי אֶתְ⁠כֶ֜ם & בִּ⁠צְבָא֔וֹת א֖וֹ בְּ⁠אַיְל֣וֹת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶ֑ה

adjure DOM,you_all & in/on/at/with,gazelles or in/on/at/with,wild_does_of the=field

The phrase I adjure you and the word by are both parts of a Hebrew oath formula. Use a natural way in your language to express an oath. Alternate translation: [I urge you to promise me … with the female gazelles or the does of the field as our witnesses] or [Please promise me … with the female gazelles or the does of the field as our witnesses] or [I want you to make an oath … with the female gazelles or the does of the field listening]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּנ֤וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙

daughters_of Yerushalayim

See how you translated the phrase daughters of Jerusalem in [1:5](../01/05.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בִּ⁠צְבָא֔וֹת א֖וֹ בְּ⁠אַיְל֣וֹת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶ֑ה

in/on/at/with,gazelles or in/on/at/with,wild_does_of the=field

Here the woman is using the possessive form to describe the female gazelles and does that are characterized as being of the field and therefore are wild animals. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could explain the meaning of the phrase of the field in your translation. Alternate translation: [by the wild female gazelles and does] or [by the wild female gazelles or the wild does] or [by the female gazelles or the does that live in the wild]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

בִּ⁠צְבָא֔וֹת

in/on/at/with,gazelles

A gazelle is a small type of antelope, that looks and moves like a deer and is similar in size. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal, you could use the name of a similar animal in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [by the female antelopes]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠אַיְל֣וֹת

in/on/at/with,wild_does_of

The writer assumes that the reader will understand that does refers to female deer. You could include this information if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the female deer of]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אִם־תָּעִ֧ירוּ ׀ וְֽ⁠אִם־תְּעֽוֹרְר֛וּ אֶת־הָ⁠אַהֲבָ֖ה עַ֥ד שֶׁ⁠תֶּחְפָּֽץ

if arouse and=if awaken DOM the,love until that,pleases

Here the woman speaks of love as if it were a person who could sleep, awaken, and have desires. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [do not encourage people to love romantically until the appropriate time] or [do not encourage people to have romantic feelings until the appropriate time]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אִם־תָּעִ֧ירוּ ׀ וְֽ⁠אִם־תְּעֽוֹרְר֛וּ

if arouse and=if awaken

Here the words awaken and stir mean similar things. The repetition is used for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [do not awaken] or [do not stir up feelings of]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֶת־הָ⁠אַהֲבָ֖ה

DOM the,love

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea in another way.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:7 Promise me . . . by the gazelles and wild deer: This plea is obviously important to the Song; it is repeated in 3:5 and 8:4, and a promise is requested. When a promise was made, witnesses were needed, and the wild animals were the only witnesses present. These graceful animals suggest a romantic pastoral setting.
• not to awaken love until the time is right: As in 8:8-9, virginity is praised. The woman warns the women of Jerusalem to be cautious and not to hurry love.
