"young women of Jerusalem." These young women could not hear her and were not present, but the woman speaks as if they were present and could hear her. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-apostrophe]])

Here "love" is spoken of as if it were a person asleep that does not want to be awakened. This is a metaphor that represents the man and woman who do not want to be disturbed until they are finished making love. See how you translated these words in [Song of Songs 2:7](../02/07.md). Alternate translation: "will not disturb us until we have finished making love" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# will not awaken or arouse
If your language has only one word for waking people out of sleep, you could combine these words. Alternate translation: "will not awaken" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
