6.4 Averte oculos tuos a me. Quasi: Oculos columbinos tibi dedi, quibus semitas justitiæ discerneres: sed tamen in tempore tuæ peregrinationis ne quæras me perfecte cognoscere. Non enim videbit me homo et vivet Exod. 33.. Ne quæras in via præmium, quod tibi in patria reservatur. Quia ipsi me. Non a desiderio cognoscendi desistas, sed de cognoscendi facultate ne præsumas: unde dicitur, Magnitudinis ejus non est finis Psal. 144.. Avolare fecerunt. RAB. Quo intensius me agnoscere quæris, eo intensius me incomprehensibilem esse intelligis, et non est tua culpa, si me non cognoscis: sed est infirmitas humanæ conditionis. Capilli tui sicut grex caprarum, etc. Hi versiculi supra positi, et expositi, sed non pigeat nos iterando exponere quod auctorem non piguit scribendo iterare, ut novi aliquid addatur. Ne Ecclesia graviter ferret quod a cognitione dilecti suspenditur, sequitur descriptio, qua assimilatur illi primitivæ Ecclesiæ Jerusalem, de qua non dubitatur, quin amica Dei fuerit. Omnes gemellis fetibus, et sterilis non est in eis. Consimilibus fetibus quia tales alios reddunt, quales ipsi sunt. Vel duplices fetus, opera geminæ charitatis, vel, fi deles de utroque populo conversi: vel, fides et opus.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:4 Tirzah was a city-state as early as Joshua’s time; it eventually became great enough to be the capital of the northern kingdom (Josh 12:24; 1 Kgs 15:33). The town’s name means “pleasant.”
• Jerusalem was the capital of David’s and Solomon’s united kingdom and after that, the most important city of Judah.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

יָפָ֨ה אַ֤תְּ רַעְיָתִ⁠י֙ כְּ⁠תִרְצָ֔ה נָאוָ֖ה כִּ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

beautiful you darling,my as,Tirzah lovely as,Jerusalem

The man is saying that the woman is like the city of Tirzah and like the city of Jerusalem because both of these cities were beautiful. These lines are parallel and both mean basically the same thing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the point of comparison explicitly. Alternately, you could combine the lines if it would help your readers. Alternate translation: “You are beautiful, my darling, like the beautiful city of Tirzah, lovely like the lovely city of Jerusalem” or “You are beautiful and lovely, my darling, like the cities of Tirzah and Jerusalem”

יָפָ֨ה אַ֤תְּ רַעְיָתִ⁠י֙

beautiful you darling,my

See how you translated the phrase “you are beautiful, my darling” in 1:15.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

יָפָ֨ה אַ֤תְּ רַעְיָתִ⁠י֙ כְּ⁠תִרְצָ֔ה

beautiful you darling,my as,Tirzah

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “My darling, you are beautiful like Tirzah”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

נָאוָ֖ה כִּ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם אֲיֻמָּ֖ה כַּ⁠נִּדְגָּלֽוֹת

lovely as,Jerusalem awesome as_an,army_with_banners

The man is 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: “you are lovely like Jerusalem, you are awe-inspiring like bannered armies”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

אֲיֻמָּ֖ה כַּ⁠נִּדְגָּלֽוֹת

awesome as_an,army_with_banners

The man is saying that the woman is awe-inspiring like bannered armies because looking at her causes the man to feel a sense of awe that is comparable to seeing an army with its banners above it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and the awe I feel when looking at you is like the awe I would feel if I were to see armies with their banners” or “and the awe I feel when looking at you is like the awe I feel when I see armies with their banners above them”

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

כַּ⁠נִּדְגָּלֽוֹת
