SNG 2:8 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

ClVg Sponsa Vox dilecti mei; ecce iste venit, saliens in montibus, transiliens colles.[fn]
(The_bride The_voice beloved my/mine; behold this he_came, saliens in/into/on the_mountains, transiliens the_hills. )

2.8 Vox dilecti mei. Hac est quam audivi adjurantem filias Jerusalem ne me suscitarent: gaudeo consolatoriam ejus vocem audiens, cum ejus faciem nondum video; tamen sublevato ad cœlum animo, aliquam suavitatem futuræ beatitudinis prægusto, etiam in hoc præsenti. Saliens in montibus. Salit in montibus, et quasi pedes ponit, quo signo ibi fuisse dignoscitur, quia eum per passionem et vitæ conversationem imitatur. Saltum fecit de cœlo in uterum, de utero in præsepe, de præsepi in crucem, de cruce in sepulcrum, de sepulcro rediit in cœlum. Ipse est qui elevatus est super omnes montes et colles, id est, sanctorum tam majorum quam minorum altitudines. Transiliens colles. In collibus non apparent signa pedum, sed umbram supervolantis susceperunt: quia etsi non ut illi majores, tamen aliquatenus imitantur et ab eo visitantur, Montes et colles sunt, qui generalem Ecclesiæ conversationem quasi floridam camporum planitiem, singulari mentis puritate transcendunt, et ab infimis recedentes vicinius superna contemplantur. In quibus salit, quia corda sublimium crebra visitatione illustrat; et non manet, sed salit et transilit: quia hæc dulcedo contemplationis brevis est et rara, propter gravedinem carnis, quia terrena inhabitatio aggravat sensum multa cogitantem.

2.8 The_voice beloved my/mine.

Saliens in/into/on the_mountains. Salit in/into/on the_mountains, and as_if feet puts, where signo there to_have_been dignoscitur, because him through passionem and of_life conversationem imitates.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ק֣וֹל דּוֹדִ֔⁠י

sound/voice beloved_of,my

Here the word voice either refers to: (1) the man’s words that he is speaking or (2) the sound of his voice which indicates he is approaching. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Listen, I hear my beloved speaking] or [Listen, I hear my beloved approaching]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

הִנֵּה

see/lo/see!

Behold is an exclamation word that is used to bring attention to the man’s approach. Use an exclamation that would communicate that meaning in your language. See how you translated Behold in [1:15](../01/015.md). Alternate translation: [See]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

בָּ֑א

he/it_came

Your language may say “going” rather than coming in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: [is going]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מְדַלֵּג֙ עַל־הֶ֣⁠הָרִ֔ים מְקַפֵּ֖ץ עַל־הַ⁠גְּבָעֽוֹת

leaping on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,mountains bounding on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,hills

These two phrases mean the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine these two phrases and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [leaping over the mountains!] or [leaping and jumping over the mountains and hills!]
