5:? Or “my beloved had left; he was gone”

5:? Or “my soul left”

5:? Or “when he was speaking.” Translations equivocate on how to translate this verb, since there are two terms in Hebrew spelled identically: “to speak” and “to turn aside” (HALOT 1:210). The context suggests the latter

BBE I made the door open to my loved one; but my loved one had taken himself away, and was gone, my soul was feeble when his back was turned on me; I went after him, but I did not come near him; I said his name, but he gave me no answer.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

לְ⁠דוֹדִ֔⁠י וְ⁠דוֹדִ֖⁠י

to,beloved,my and,beloved,my

See how you translated the phrase my beloved in 1:13.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

עָבָ֑ר

gone

Your language may say “went” rather than gone in a context such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “and went away”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

נַפְשִׁ⁠י֙ יָֽצְאָ֣ה

heart,my sank

Your language may say “gone” rather than went in a context such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “My soul had gone out”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

נַפְשִׁ⁠י֙ יָֽצְאָ֣ה

heart,my sank

Here, soul represents the entire person, and the phrase My soul went out is a Hebrew idiom that means to feel extreme despair. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that has this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My heart sank” or “I felt great despair”

בְ⁠דַבְּר֔⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,spoke,he

Here, the word translated as because he departed could mean: (1) when he departed. If you choose this option, use the translation of the ULT as a model. (2) “when he spoke.” Alternate translation: “when he spoke”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹ֥א עָנָֽ⁠נִי

and=not answer,me

The implication is that the man did not answer because he was not there. She is not saying that he was present but not answering. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. Alternate translation: "but he did not answer me, since he was not there".
