6.1 Dilectus meus. Descendit irrigans fonte baptismi, de alto veniens in humili positos visitavit. Ut nos sursum ascenderemus, Dominus in montem descendit, Moyses in montem ascendit. Cum dixisset. Descendit in hortum, addit qualiter sit idem hortus constitutus, qua fruge fecundus, cum dicit, ad areolam aromatum. Hortus Ecclesia: hortus quælibet fidelis anima. Areola est mens fidelis, quæ disciplina rectæ fidei edocta, quasi æquis lateribus hinc inde est composita: et quasi solerti fossorio creberrime reversata, et a superfluis graminibus expurgata. Respondet piis sanctorum desideriis ac fructuosis operibus eum delectari, ac perfectos quosque castimoniæ virtutibus ad æterna gaudia colligere. Lilia colligit, dum ad perfectorum meritorum candorem pervenientes, de statu ubi erant prius, educit et ad cœlestia regna perducit.

BRN Whither is thy kinsman gone, thou beautiful among women? whither has thy kinsman turned aside? tell us, and we will seek him with thee.
BrLXX Ποῦ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου ἡ καλὴ ἐν γυναιξὶ; ποῦ ἀπέβλεψεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου; καὶ ζητήσομεν αὐτὸν μετὰ σοῦ.
(Pou apaʸlthen ho adelfidos sou haʸ kalaʸ en gunaixi? pou apeblepsen ho adelfidos sou? kai zaʸtaʸsomen auton meta sou. )
6:1-3 The conversation that ends this poem indicates that it is not an actual event. The dream ends as the young women of Jerusalem ask the woman where her man has gone. The woman tells them not to concern themselves with finding him—he is back in bed with her, enjoying his garden with its spice beds and lilies, a description of sexual intimacy.
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 question Where did he go, your beloved and the question Where did he turn, your beloved have basically the same meaning. This type of repetition is a common feature of Hebrew poetry. This question is asked twice, in slightly different ways, for emphasis and poetic effect. It would be good to retain this repetition if possible but if saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can 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 a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If your readers might misunderstand this, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “tell us, so that we can seek him with you” or “tell us, and let us seek him with you”
