UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

צְאֶ֧ינָה

come_out

Your language may say “Come out” rather than Go out in a context such as this. Use whichever is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Come out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּנ֥וֹת צִיּ֖וֹן

daughters_of Tsiyyōn/(Zion)

Here the possessive form daughters of Zion is a poetic way of describing the young women who were from the city of Jerusalem (These are probably the same women as the “marriageable women” in 1:3 and the women referred to as “daughters of Jerusalem” in 2:7 and 3:5). If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could indicate the association between these young women and Zion in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “young women from Zion” or “young women from the city of Zion” or “you young women who live in Zion”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בְּ⁠י֣וֹם חֲתֻנָּת֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְ⁠י֖וֹם שִׂמְחַ֥ת לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

in/on=day wedding,his and,in/on/at/with,day gladness his/its=heart

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than "and" in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “on the day of his wedding, yes, on the day of the joy of his heart”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠בְ⁠י֖וֹם שִׂמְחַ֥ת לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

and,in/on/at/with,day gladness his/its=heart

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “on the day his heart was exceedingly joyful” or “on the day when his heart was very joyful”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠בְ⁠י֖וֹם שִׂמְחַ֥ת לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

and,in/on/at/with,day gladness his/its=heart

Here, heart represents Solomon’s inner being which the Jews viewed as the center of a person's mind and feelings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly.
