SNG 4:6 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.

(Until he_aspires days, and they_are_inclined/leaing shadows, vadam to mountain myrrhæ, and to collem incenses. )

4.6 Donec aspiret dies illa. Postquam, nec docendi ultra nec discendi tempus erit, sed consummatis omnibus hujus mundi tenebris, omnes fulgebunt sicut sol. Vadam ad montem. Et quia Ecclesia per singula talis est. Vadam, id est, addam gratiam, tam inferioribus quam majoribus. Vadam. Quia novos populos quotidie congregabo. Et quia sermo est ad Ecclesiam de gentibus, potest non incongrue videri promissa vocatio Synagogæ, quæ in fine mundi est futura: seu vocatio quarumcunque gentium. Unde mox de amplissima pulchritudine unius ejusdemque Ecclesiæ, quæ vel de Judæis vel quibuscunque gentibus per totum orbem est congreganda, subditur, Tota pulchra es.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

עַ֤ד שֶׁ⁠יָּפ֨וּחַ֙ הַ⁠יּ֔וֹם וְ⁠נָ֖סוּ הַ⁠צְּלָלִ֑ים

until when,breathes the=day and,flee the,shadows

See how you translated the phrase Until the day breathes and the shadows flee in [2:17](../02/17.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

אֵ֤לֶךְ לִ⁠י֙

go to=me

Your language may say “come” rather than go in a context such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: [I myself will come]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

הַ⁠מּ֔וֹר

the,myrrh

See how you translated myrrh in [1:13](../01/13.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֵ֤לֶךְ לִ⁠י֙ אֶל־הַ֣ר הַ⁠מּ֔וֹר וְ⁠אֶל־גִּבְעַ֖ת הַ⁠לְּבוֹנָֽה

go to=me to/towards mountain_of the,myrrh and=near/to hill_of the,frankincense

Here the writer is speaking of the woman’s breasts as if they are the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense. The man is discreetly indicating that his bride’s breasts are pleasant smelling and that he wants to enjoy them. It would be good to retain this discreet and beautiful poetic imagery if possible. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly or use a comparison. Alternate translation: [I myself will go to your breasts, which are like two sweet-smelling mountains] or [I myself will be close to your breasts, which are like two pleasant-smelling hills]
