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 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]
(Sponsa The_voice dilecti mei; behold this venit, saliens in montibus, transiliens colles. )

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 dilecti my/mine. Hac it_is how audivi adyurantem daughters Yerusalem not me suscitarent: gaudeo consolatoriam his vocem audiens, when/with his face nondum video; tamen sublevato to cœlum animo, aliquam suavitatem futuræ beatitudinis prægusto, also in this præsenti. Saliens in montibus. Salit in montibus, and as_if pedes puts, quo signo there fuisse dignoscitur, because him through passionem and of_life conversationem imitatur. Saltum he_did about cœlo in uterum, about utero in præsepe, about præsepi in crucem, about cruce in sepulcrum, about sepulcro rediit in cœlum. Exactly_that it_is who elevatus it_is over everyone mountains and colles, id it_is, sanctorum tam mayorum how minorum altitudines. Transiliens colles. In collibus not/no apparent signa pedum, but umbram supervolantis susceperunt: because etsi not/no as illi mayores, tamen aliquatenus imitantur and away eo visitantur, Montes and colles are, who generalem Ecclesiæ conversationem as_if floridam camporum planitiem, singulari mentis puritate transcendunt, and away infimis recedentes vicinius superna contemplantur. In to_whom salit, because corda sublimium crebra visitatione illustrat; and not/no manet, but salit and transilit: because these_things dulcedo contemplationis brevis it_is and rara, propter gravedinem carnis, because terrena inhabitatio aggravat sensum multa cogitantem.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ק֣וֹל דּוֹדִ֔⁠י

sound/voice beloved,my

Here the original language word which the ULT translates as voice is being used to get the reader's attention. If it would help your readers, you could indicate that explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “Listen, I hear my beloved speaking” or “Listen, I hear my beloved approaching”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamation

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. 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!”
