Although the daughters of Jerusalem could not hear her, the woman speaks to them as if they could hear saying that the gazelles and the does will punish them they break their promise. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-apostrophe]])

# will not awaken or arouse love until she pleases
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
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. Alternate translation: "will not disturb us until we have finished making love" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/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/translate/figs-doublet]])
