1.8 Equitatui. Sicut priorem populum de Ægyptiaca servitute liberavi, sic te de persequentium manibus liberabo, elidens Pharaonem, si te sponsam meam cognoveris, liberans a servitute diaboli, in fonte baptismatis passione rubricati, submerso ibidem auctore peccati. Equitatui meo. Quia Dominus non vult Ecclesiam ignorare seipsam, sed diligenter attendere quid donorum acceperit, quid pati debeat, consequenter post comminationem blanditur ei, quasi dicat: Si vis intelligere quomodo te scire debeas, intellige cui te comparaverim, et tunc cognosces te talem per beneficia mea tibi collata, quæ turbari non debeas. Equitatui. Eques, sponsus, dicente propheta: Et salus ejus equitatio Habac 3.. Quantum ergo differt meus equitatus ab equis Pharaonis, tantum melior es omnibus aliis filiabus. Sicut ille populus supervenientibus curribus Pharaonis perterritus est, sed cœlesti protectione salvatus, et per aquas submersis hostibus in terram promissionis introductus est: sic unda mortis, quæ cunctis occursura est mortalibus, pravos rapit in interitum, piis reserat iter ad salutem, et cætera omnia, quæ ibi corporaliter, hic complentur spiritualiter. Dubitantem benigne increpat, et ne desperet in sequenti fideli amore viriliter confortat, ubi Pharaonis curribus comparat. In curribus Pharaonis. Id est in tempore curruum. Et nota superbiam: Pharao, elidens vel dissipans interpretatur. Nec oportet ut vagari incipias, cum me consolatorem habeas, et prælatos quibus innitaris, per quos subsistas.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:8 The man’s first words in this poem lovingly pacify the woman’s anxiety by giving directions to where she should meet him.
• The man desires to be with her and tells her to come under the guise of a goatherd, following the trail of his flock.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

אִם־ לֹ֤א תֵדְעִי֙ לָ֔⁠ךְ הַ⁠יָּפָ֖ה בַּ⁠נָּשִׁ֑ים צְֽאִי־ לָ֞⁠ךְ

if not know to/for=you(fs) the,most_beautiful in/on/at/with,women follow to/for=you(fs)

If it would help your readers to see that this is a conditional statement then you could supply a word like “then” in your translation. Alternate translation: “If you do not know, most beautiful among women, then go out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

אִם־ לֹ֤א תֵדְעִי֙ לָ֔⁠ךְ הַ⁠יָּפָ֖ה בַּ⁠נָּשִׁ֑ים

if not know to/for=you(fs) the,most_beautiful in/on/at/with,women

If it would be more natural in your language you could begin this verse with the phrase most beautiful among women. Alternate translation: “Most beautiful among women, if you do not know”

הַ⁠יָּפָ֖ה בַּ⁠נָּשִׁ֑ים

the,most_beautiful in/on/at/with,women

Alternate translation: “you who are the most beautiful of all women”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

צְֽאִי־ לָ֞⁠ךְ

follow to/for=you(fs)

Your language may say “come” rather than go in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “come out”

וּ⁠רְעִי֙ אֶת־ גְּדִיֹּתַ֔יִ⁠ךְ

and,pasture DOM young_goats,your

Alternate translation: “and let your young goats graze” or “and graze your young goats”

וּ⁠רְעִי֙ אֶת־ גְּדִיֹּתַ֔יִ⁠ךְ

and,pasture DOM young_goats,your

Alternate translation: “and graze your young goats” or “and let your young goats eat”
