Czy Oblubienica rzeczywiście „znalazła pokój”? Dylematy translacyjne Pnp 8,10b
Did the Bride Really „Find Peace”? Translation Problems in Song 8:10b

Summary/Abstract: From a purely literal standpoint, Song 8:10 is properly translated as: „I became in his eyes as one finding peace”. However, the main problems of translation and interpretation here have to do with the similarity between the Hebrew idiomatic formula „to find favor in someones eyes” and the meaning of the Hebrew word „shalom”. We analyze different suggestions for translation of the passage as found in published Bibles in English, Portuguese, French, German and Polish. Finally, we present our own proposal for a truer rendering: „I found happiness in his eyes”.
