2:? Literally “on the earth”

2:? Most likely, a subtle word play occurs here since there are two different words in Hebrew spelled the same way: “pruning” and “singing.” The former plays upon the first line and the latter upon the third line

2:? Literally “the time of the song arrived”

BBEThe flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;

2.12 Flores. Quasi: Istos, qui jam credunt, et jam bona operantur, potes dare in exemplum aliis: istos potes proponere aliis in exemplum qui jam patiuntur falcem vitia resecantem. Pro quiete tua non debes dimittere prædicationem, quia Christus, qui in magna quiete erat cum Patre, quietem quodammodo pro prædicatione intermisit. Tempus putationis. Jam inutilibus vanæ religionis amputatis sarmentis, futuro fidei fructu præparantur corda hominum, jam et vitia amputantur, quia venit tempus remissionis peccatorum. Vox turturis audita est. Spiritus sanctus, quando de occultioribus loquitur sacramentis, et quæ multi non capiunt, turturis appellatione signatur. Unde et Moysi apparet et uni: quando de humilibus quæ ad omnes usque perveniunt, per columbam assumitur, unde et circa Jordanem astantibus multis non in turture apparuit, sed in columba. Vox turturis, vox apostolorum, vel quorumlibet prædicatorum, qui suo cantu abscessum hiemis et veris adventum nuntiant, qui pro cantu humilem gemitum reddunt, qui pudicitiæ amatores sunt, qui semper in jugis montium, vel in verticibus arborum morantur, et conversationem fugiunt hominum, dum in mundo corpore positi, conversationem habent in cœlis, incolatus sui et patriæ sibi promissæ memores.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:8-17 In this poem, the woman anticipates the arrival of her lover. She describes the passing of winter and the coming of spring, a time of floral fragrance and new beginnings. She and her lover are in their country garden, a place of intimacy, though even here there is a hint of threat (2:15).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

in/on_the=earth

Alternate translation: “throughout the land”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠ק֥וֹל הַ⁠תּ֖וֹר נִשְׁמַ֥ע

and,voice the,turtledove heard

If your language does not use the passive form, you could express the idea of the phrase the turtledove is heard in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it is people. Alternate translation: “and people hear the voice of the turtledove” or “and people hear the turtledove cooing”
