OET interlinear SNG 6:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

שִׁשִּׁ֥ים הֵ֨מָּה֙ מְּלָכ֔וֹת

sixty they(emph) queens

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of the words in the phrase Sixty are they, queens. Alternate translation: [They are sixty queens]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

שִׁשִּׁ֥ים הֵ֨מָּה֙ מְּלָכ֔וֹת וּ⁠שְׁמֹנִ֖ים פִּֽילַגְשִׁ֑ים

sixty they(emph) queens and=eighty concubines

This is poetic language. The man is using the 3, 4 pattern that was commonly used at that time, and for emphasis he multiples the numbers 3 and 4 by the number 20. This gives the numbers Sixty and eighty that he uses to make his point. If your language has a way to indicate poetry, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [A large number of queens and a large number of concubines] or [Many queens and many concubines]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

וַ⁠עֲלָמ֖וֹת

and,maidens

See how you translated the phrase marriageable women in [1:3](../01/03.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠עֲלָמ֖וֹת אֵ֥ין מִסְפָּֽר

and,maidens not number

Here, without number is an idiom that means “more than can be counted.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and too many marriageable women to count] or [and more marriageable women than can be counted]
