UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אָ֚נָה הָלַ֣ךְ דּוֹדֵ֔⁠ךְ הַ⁠יָּפָ֖ה בַּ⁠נָּשִׁ֑ים אָ֚נָה פָּנָ֣ה דוֹדֵ֔⁠ךְ וּ⁠נְבַקְשֶׁ֖⁠נּוּ עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

where gone beloved,your the,most_beautiful in/on/at/with,women where turned beloved,your and,seek,him with,you

The questions Where did he go, your beloved and Where did he turn, your beloved have basically the same meaning. This question is asked twice, in slightly different ways, for emphasis and poetic effect. This type of repetition is a common feature of Hebrew poetry, and it would be good to retain this repetition if possible. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “Where did he go, your beloved, most beautiful woman among women? Let us seek him with you” or “Most beautiful woman among women, where did he turn your beloved? Let us seek him with you”

אָ֚נָה הָלַ֣ךְ דּוֹדֵ֔⁠ךְ & אָ֚נָה פָּנָ֣ה דוֹדֵ֔⁠ךְ

where gone beloved,your & where turned beloved,your

Alternate translation: “Where did your beloved go … Where did your beloved turn”

הַ⁠יָּפָ֖ה בַּ⁠נָּשִׁ֑ים

the,most_beautiful in/on/at/with,women

See how you translated the phrase most beautiful woman among women in 1:8.

אָ֚נָה פָּנָ֣ה דוֹדֵ֔⁠ךְ

where where turned beloved,your

Alternate translation: “Which way did your beloved go”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠נְבַקְשֶׁ֖⁠נּוּ עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

and,seek,him with,you

The women of Jerusalem are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “tell us, so that we can seek him with you” or “tell us, and let us seek him with you”
