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 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.

who? this(f) the,looks_down like dawn beautiful as_the,moon bright as_the,sun awesome as_the,army_with_banners

The author does not say who is speaking here so you should not indicate explicitly who is speaking in the text of your translation. However, if you are using section headers to indicate who is speaking, the speaker or speakers could be: (1) the man speaking to the woman he loves. If you are using section headers, you can follow the example of the UST and include this verse under the section heading for 6:4-10 that indicates the man is speaking. (2) the "daughters," the "queens," and the "concubines" mentioned in the previous verse. If you are using section headers, you can use a phrase for the section header such as “The daughters, the queens, and the concubines praise the woman” or “The other women praise the woman” or something comparable.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

who? this(f) the,looks_down like dawn beautiful as_the,moon bright as_the,sun awesome as_the,army_with_banners

The man is not asking for information but is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Look at this woman who looks down like the dawn, beautiful like the moon, pure like the sun, terrifying like the bannered army!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הַ⁠נִּשְׁקָפָ֖ה כְּמוֹ־שָׁ֑חַר

the,looks_down like dawn

Here the man speaks of the sun as it dawns in the morning and shines down as though it were a person who could look down on the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the woman who shines like the sun as it rises early in the morning and brightens the sky” or “the woman who shines like the sun as it rises early in the morning and shines down from the sky”

Here the man first says that the woman is like the sun in the morning as it dawns. He then says that her beauty is like the beauty of the moon. He then compares the woman’s radiance to the radiance of the sun. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state these comparisons explicitly.
