1:11 dza7 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive תּוֹרֵ֤י זָהָב֙ נַעֲשֶׂה־לָּ֔ךְ 1 The reason the word **we** is used here could be: (1) because the man is saying that he will have someone make the **Earrings of gold** for her. The man is not including the woman, so **we** would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms. Alternate translation: “Earrings of gold I will have someone make for you” or “I will pay someone to make earring of gold for you” (2) because he is using a plural form commonly accepted in his language and expects the woman to understand that he means “I.” Alternate translation: “Earrings of gold I will make for you” (3) because a group of people, and not the man, speak here.

2:intro u8uv 0 # Song of Songs 2 General Notes\n\n## Translation Issues in This Chapter\n\n### The woman and man compliment each other by using metaphors and similes\n\nIn 2:1 the woman uses a metaphor to tell the man she loves that she thinks she is common, like a flower that grows on the plains or a lily that grows in the valleys. The man responds in 2:2 by using a simile to tell her how special she is when compared to other women. She then uses a simile in 2:3 to tell him how special he is compared to other men. When translating these verses, pay close attention to the translation notes and the UST in order to understand the meaning.\n\n### Chiasm\n\nHebrew poetry sometimes uses a literary device called a “chiasm” (sometimes called “chiasmus”). A chiasm is when words or phrases are ordered in an AB-BA sequence. In Song of Songs 2:14](../02/14.md) the author uses a chiasm. The ULT follows the Hebrew order and translates this verse as “show me your appearance, make me hear your voice, for your voice {is} sweet, and your appearance {is} lovely.” Notice that the phrases “your appearance” and “your voice” are repeated in an AB-BA sequence: “your appearance ... your voice ... your voice ... your appearance.”

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, explain the comparison, or use the UST as a model.

The second phrase emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: “I am a wildflower that grows in the plains and the valleys”

She is using **lilies** to represent herself as she did in [2:1](../02/01.md). Here, **the lilies** probably represent the woman’s lips. The meaning here is that the man finds sustenance and enjoyment through being with the woman and kissing her lips. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my beloved gets pleasure grazing among the lilies” or “my beloved gets pleasure as he grazes among the lilies”

2:17 p2uq rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism שֶׁיָּפ֨וּחַ֙ הַיּ֔וֹם וְנָ֖סוּ הַצְּלָלִ֑ים 1 The phrases **the day breathes** and **the shadows flee** are parallel ideas which have similar meanings. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry is based on this type of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. Together, they both either refer to: (1) the evening time, when the evening breeze blows (**breathes**) and the shadows cast by the sun disappear (**flee**). Alternate translation: “the evening time when the breeze blows and the shadows cast by the sun disappear” (2) the morning time, when the light from the sun dawns and the morning breeze blows (**breathes**). Alternate translation: “dawn tomorrow morning, when the darkness disappears”
