OET interlinear SNG 5:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠יָדַ֣⁠י נָֽטְפוּ־מ֗וֹר וְ⁠אֶצְבְּעֹתַ⁠י֙ מ֣וֹר עֹבֵ֔ר

and,hands_of,my dripped myrrh and,fingers_of,my myrrh liquid

The two phrases my hands dripped with myrrh and my fingers dripped with flowing myrrh mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than “and” in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [and my hands dripped with myrrh, yes, my fingers dripped with flowing myrrh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מ֣וֹר עֹבֵ֔ר

myrrh liquid

The phrase translated as flowing myrrh refers to liquid myrrh. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [liquid myrrh]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠אֶצְבְּעֹתַ⁠י֙

and,fingers_of,my

The woman is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could supply the words “dripped with.”
