The Song of Songs 5:8

The Beloved to the Maidens: O maidens of Jerusalem, I command you – If you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him that I am lovesick! ¹ 

O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—if you find my lover, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love.

"I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, As to what you will tell him: For I am lovesick."

"Make this promise to me, O women of Jerusalem! If you find my beloved one, tell him that I am sick with love."

I beg you, sisters in Jerusalem--if you find my lover, Please tell him I want him, that I'm heartsick with love for him.

I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, tell him this: I am faint with love.

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him I am lovesick!

The Beloved to the Maidens: O maidens of Jerusalem, I command you – If you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him that I am lovesick! ¹ 

¹ tn The genitive construct חוֹלַת אַהֲבָה (kholat ’ahavah, “sick of love”) denotes “lovesick.” This is an example of a genitive of cause, that is, the Beloved was (physically/emotionally) sick because of her unrequited love for him. See study note on Song 2:5.
